Hey guys,
I just need someone to level with me.
Background: I'm apparently the all-time worst student when it comes to properly dropping my classes. I have 33 credits on my transcripts from 5+ years ago from not properly dropping classes. Because I didn't catch this on my transcript until I returned to college this year there isn't an appeal process for me. It's now part of my perminant academic record.
I'm a 4.0 student at my current institution. I've retaken every failed credit. Even if I finish my undergrad with a 3.8-3.9 institutional GPA these old credits are dragging my cGPA and sGPA to a respective 3.1 and 3.6. I haven't taken the MCAT yet, and I don't plan to attempt it until I complete all of my biochem coursework. I have roughly 4-5 semesters left of undergrad.
What's my best-case, here? Do I have a shot at DO school with a competitive MCAT if I continue trending upward?
