Goal #1: Bring both GPAs above 3.0
Goal #2: Get above a 500 on the mcat, preferably 505.
Goal #3: Get more clinical experience. Your non-clinical volunteering looks good, but it kind of looks like you lack actual hospital experience.
 
I’m looking for some sound advice on how to approach this next cycle/year. I have came up short of my 3.0 gpa goal and I’m trying to figure out where to focus my energy.



I know my stats are $#!7 so I wanted to be first in... But with me falling short of the golden 3.0 I’m determining my next steps. Be first in and hope for a “holistic” review, or apply after summer semester (finished late August)? Even after coming up short I have to say I’m proud of the effort I’ve put into this degree and at this point “I’ve left it all on the field”.
