Hey guys. I'm pretty anxious about my predicament right now. Here's my status so far.
- Anthropology major
-Asian american upcoming junior at a University of California school (will start in about 3 weeks)
- have done no research (friend said she'll hook me up this year with research)
-have not shadowed (cousins and family doctor can fix that)
-3.5 cummulative / 3.0 sgpa 🙁
-have not taken mcat and looking for a gap year (planning to take mcat after studying this summer)
-volunteered at a veterans hospital since sophomore year high school + ER front desk clerical volunteer for one summer
-in an honor society and have yet to take physics, one quarter of ochem, and one quarter of biochem (will get all done by the end of my junior year)
Do I still have a chance? my 3.0 sgpa is horrible and im ashamed mostly because I got a C in Gen Chem 3rd quarter smh. I have dealt with depression basically my whole sophomore year. it was really hard to get out of it but I'm feeling alot better now. I was wondering what advice any of you medical students or acceptances have? What should I do to maximize my chances of getting in? I can still take other science courses my junior and senior year like math, stats, entomology. Mostly have gotten B's in my science courses. Thank You very much and I look forward to your responses.
