3.45 SMP :( but strong upward trend. Do I have a chance??

[spartandoc2019]

Hi guys! I just finished my SMP and finished with a 3.45 which sucks but I do have a strong upward trend. I actually took 56 credits over two years and in my last year (36 credits) I finished with a 3.78. My low GPA is specifically from the first year. Do I still have a shot

Do I have a chance at med school?
cGPA: 3.33
sGPA: 2.98
SMP: 3.45

I’m not sure how anything less than an A- gpa would affect your chances, but I do believe there are schools that reward upward trends. What’s your MCAT score? It might be best to target mission based MD schools and open yourself to DO.

Where is your state of residence ? What is your MCAT score ?
