I transferred to an Ivy League University with a 4.0 GPA from my CC, and will be graduating in May with a 3.0 GPA from my University (does not include grades from CC, only credits). I attribute my decline in grades to emotional issues that I encountered when I moved to attend University. I have yet to take the MCAT (will be doing so January '18) and will be taking 2 gap years while I work. I'm a non-traditional 27yr old student if that makes a difference at all. I would like to know:
1) How medical schools/AMCAS would look at my GPA. Would they combine my GPA ((4.0 + 3.0)/2 = 3.5) or would only my GPA from University count? If combined, do I still have a chance with a 3.5 GPA?
2) I have 2 C's on my transcript, I can't imagine that this would not affect my chances at getting into medical school. Do I still have a chance?
I'm passionate about medical school, and I can't see myself doing anything else. I feel with everything in my being that this is what I am meant to do, but I am second guessing everything because of my downward trend in grades once I transferred. Your honest opinions are appreciated, please let me know what my chances are!
