Hello,
I just wanted advice from people who are already in Medical school (either MD or MD/PhD program).
I am a minority, and currently I am persuing a M.S. in Biotech while working in research at JHU. I was a transfer student and although my cumulative GPA is 3.6. I have a couple of C; one in analytical chem, and one in arts). In addition I did very poorly in an honors class since I had to work full time while I was in my junior year. I have extensive research experiences from NIH and JHU, and I have two science papers. I have a lot of volunteer work. I have been discourage by a lot of ppl because they say that those Cs will affect my admissions to top schools.
How much would those grades affect? Could someone who has already been through the admissions process tell me their own experience?
P.S. I got a 37 on my MCAT
