Advice so i would like to get some advice in terms of going to medical school I should graduate with around a 3.4-3.5 gpa and WILL get a 520+ mcat I went to CC and my gpa looks like this
CC: 87 credits, 308 points, GPA: 3.540
3rd year: 75 credits, 169.6 points, GPA: 2.261
4 and 5 year: 150 credits, 600 points, GPA: 4.000
I don't know if this matters but I am a first gen college student as well as a UROM and I am a math major my grade distribution looks like this
A+: 1 course
A: 20 courses
A-: 3 courses
B: 7 courses
B-: 1 course
C: 6 courses
C-: 3 courses
D-: 1 course
F: 3 courses
With my bad grades being in math
I did extremely badly in my 3rd year and I had a hard time adjusting to college life. So far I have a 4.0 with 20+ units both spring and fall quarters. I know I can do this. I am giving it my all.
I also have a clinical and a research lab with a publication coming soon and some conference boards.
My question for advice would be in terms of extracurriculars and clinical help, I plan to do a gap year where I would study for my mcat and improve my extracurriculars and clinical. Do you guys have any advice on things I should do now to have the best odds in getting into medical school? Should I look into a post bacc, will it look bad if i did all my clinical in my gap year, I am doing volunteer work and tutoring but should i look into anything else. What should I do, should I look into grad school( i am interested in neuroscience).
