low gpa

My cGPA is a 2.99 and I need six more units of A's to get it above which i'm taking ~June 15- August 28, so the grades won't be in in time to raise me above the "3.0 threshold". By comparison, my sGPA is a 3.85 and postbacc gpa a 3.95 and my MCAT practice scores were 512-515 and I should receive...

Hi, I am at the point where I am thinking I might need some sort of GPA repair post graduation. I currently have a 3.0 cGPA (though upon calculating my AMCAS GPA it is lower ~ 2.87cGPA, 2.5 sGPA). I have about 35 credits remaining - mostly in upper division science courses. I did well this...

Hello friends, I had a very rough finish to my degree (although those circumstances have now been resolved) and am now looking at a 3.00 cGPA and 2.90 sGPA (with a 516 MCAT). I've finished all the prerequisites except for Orgo II and I'm planning to substitute Biochem for that, but I'm open to...

Hello, I was wondering if I can get your advice on something. I have a very low GPA (2.5) I am about to complete my 3rd year. My GPA is low due to some personal and family problems, and the dean of my school did not believe that it should have impacted my grades as much as it did. Thus, I am...

Hey fellow forum members! This will be my first time applying to dental school. It's been a long road of schooling to get to this point, and now the reality of the situation is starting to sink in. First, I want to say that I absolutely 100% want to be a dentist. This is a career that I have...

Hi everyone! I just made an account so I'm not too familar with where to post this thread so I just started my own, but I would appreciate some feedback and advice any of you guys might have about my application to DO school during the 2019-2020 cycle: Year in school: Starting 3rd year...

I just finished my sophomore year and I am very unhappy with my performance this spring semester... so now my overall gpa is a 3.14. I don’t know what happened, it just got the best of me I guess. Anyway, I was wondering if there’s still a chance I can raise my gpa enough (keep in mind I haven’t...

So this may be kind of long... I’m not the smartest, but I am a hard worker. Averaging B’s in most of my classes needed to take (i do have a few C’s) However one horrible semester brought my GPA down tremendously & it’s been hard trying to bring it back up (currently at a 2.58) I’m taking...

I currently have a 2.42 GPA in my university. I scored in the 97th percentile on my PCAT through rigorous studying. I also have been working in a Pharmacy for 3 1/2 years as a Pharmacy Technician. Should I even bother applying to pharmacy schools because of my really low GPA?

As the title states, this is a complicated situation. I just completed an SMP this month, I didn't do well. I received my degree, but with a 2.96 cumulative gpa. I was working full time as a research associate, 40 hours a week. Currently in the middle of a clinical trial with one of the top...

So this is a question I'm sure you all get on a regular basis, with posters usually asking about how favorably a good (3.7+) grad school GPA is received by admissions committees. Well, I'm coming from the other end to ask you all how much a red flag would a gGPA of ~3.40 for a hard science...

Dear people of the forum, I am asking for some much needed advice. I have a 3.03 GPA in biochem but I do have a strong upward trend (3.45 and 3.8 in my last 2 semesters), and I still have one semester left. I have a 508 on MCAT I wrote last summer. I am wondering if anyone knows of any...

Hi everyone, I need to know if it's worth it for me to pursue being a doctor or not. My situation: I entered as a student at Virginia Tech (am 20 years old) and am currently a rising senior (have done 3 years) with a 3.0 gpa. Initially I had plans to be a doctor but then the fear of debt got to...

I have recently been considering medical school and am not too far into the process, but I was wondering if this forum could help me clear a few things up: uGPA-3.03 (no special story just very immature/unmotivated) gradGPA~3.8 (neither school anything special but bms dept at grad school pretty...

So I am currently in my junior year of undergrad and have come to the realization that my GPA probably won't be very competitive when I graduate (3.25 cgpa and 3.0 sgpa), particularly for MD schools. I'm not biased towards MD or DO and plan to apply to schools that fall under both categories. I...

It was once my goal to become a doctor while completing my undergraduate studies, but then I deterred away from it due to financial issues. Moreover my GPA is trash: 3.02 overall; 2.1-2.3ish science (I can’t remember, but it is in that range). I am presently completing a MBA in Finance (I...

Hello, I just wanted to see what the best option for getting into med school. I had a 3.2 cgpa until my senior year. At the beginning of my senior year, I was a victim of an assault. It really took a toll over me. I withdrew from most of my classes.... I received a F in organic & my semester...

I know this has been posted about before, but I really struggled to find a uniform list of schools that only look at your last 45-60 units. The schools I've listed below, though there aren't many, are based off of tedious research. I'm hoping that this thread will help at least one person out...

I was enrolled at a university for 4.5 years and accumulated a 2.33 gpa. My last semester at the university, I had many personal problems the affected my grades and ended up failing 12 of the 16 credits I attempted. I decided then that I needed time away from school to mature as a student before...

This will be my first post on SDN. Background: My wife and I started a family early and I absolutely wrecked my freshman year with a sub 1.0 gpa. I took some time off to support the family and took some classes here and there steadily improving my gpa. My wife stayed committed to school and got...

I am a non-traditional Texas resident looking to apply in the 2018-2019 cycle. I graduated in 2016 with a cGPA 3.2 and a sGPA 2.96, no strong increasing or decreasing trends. Since graduating I did a summer of full time research in HIV a Texas Tech Health Science Center in EL Paso Texas. I have...

I am currently a junior in undergrad and am coming up on decisions this summer. My current cGPA is a 3.23 and sGPA is 2.85 (semester is going great, almost to finals and expecting a sGPA of 3.08 and cGPA of 3.32 after this semester). Chemistry is the weak spot, C in gen chem 1, B in gen chem 2...

I am a biology major, sophomore, GPA 3.4 currently. My gpa before I apply may be around a 3.5. I just started working as an ER medical scribe. I've been involved in volunteering, research projects, have held a steady job, and I'm going on a shadowing trip to Spain this summer. I have already...

Hello everyone, My first freshman year was embarrassingly awful, I was irresponsible and partied way too hard. During the second semester I decided I was going to enlist because i saw what I was becoming and needed some discipline. I enlisted, served for 5 years, and separated with an...

I graduated from UC Irvine B.S. Human Biology. 2016 I honestly got mostly A's in my biology, gen chem, and o-chem courses. Occasionally a B+/B but rarely. However, I've never been good (always found difficulty even with tutoring) with math courses. For whatever reason, I got a B- in Calculus 1...

Removed! :)

Hey all, I've seen a lot of posts about an upward trend and ~reinvention, but not many on what to do when you aren't doing well in those upper level bio courses that were supposed to prove you can handle this material. I bombed a biochem exam yesterday and I'm not doing so hot in genetics or...

So my current GPA is a 2.41, obviously bad, didn't take school seriously and some other personal things that I got sorted out. Last semester I got a 3.2, and this semester looks to be around a 3.65 while working full time as a CNA in an ICU. I'm currently a 5th year senior looking to graduate in...
