Hi, my case may be a little unusual - I hardly took any science undergrad. Almost all of my science GPA stems from postbacc courses. My cGPA is 3.05 and my sGPA is right about a 3.9. I got a 514 on the MCAT - I am considering retaking it to get a higher score to offset my cGPA. I have a strong upward trend even in undergrad - bad first year and a half.
I have 500+ hours of clinical volunteering in hospitals and as a volunteer EMT. I have 100+ hours shadowing. 400+ hours as a research assistant for a major hospital. Around 500+ hours of non-clinical volunteering too.
I'm wondering if it's worth applying with my cGPA being what it is. I calculated that if I delay my app for a year I can bring my cGPA up to a 3.25 - not much of a dent but closer in line with the averages and hopefully won't get auto-screened.
Thanks for all the help!
