My undergrad was somewhat of interesting. First year I got a 1.87. Then transferred out of that school. Graduated this fall with a 3.17 gpa from there. aadsas calculated my gpa as a 2.65....fun. How much will a MS help me out? I have a 19 DAT 1000 hours voulunteering, multiple research projects in a lab an 1 publication. Will I get in somewere when I go to reapply? My MS starts in the fall I will be applying for the 2012 cycle.

With a 2.65, I wouldn't waste money applying until you finish the Masters program, unless you wouldn't mind throwing away ~1500+ in the next cycle. Do your masters, make SURE you get 3.7+. Get lower than a 3.7 and you're practically eternally screwed, unless you continue on to a PhD or something. Apply after you receive your degree and spend your lag year enjoying life/shadowing/working. GOod luck
