I graduated with a dismal undergrad gpa of 2.4 in Psychology. I am now in my fifth quarter of post bac with a straight 4.0. I have taken all of the prerequisits for med school and I will do whatever it takes to go.
I have over three years experience working in ophthalmology. I have a COA certification, experience with multiple doctors in both rural and urban settings, and surgery assisting. I have also shadowed other physicians in the clinic, from internal medicine to otolaryngology. I have three very strong letter of recommendation from three great physicians, all of whom I have worked with.
At this point, even with my 75 credits of 4.0 post bac work I am not quite scratching the 3.0 mark. I am still at an overall gpa of 2.8 and a science gpa of 3.5. What are my options here? SMP? Apply to US med schools and hope that my significant up trend in grades, my experience and letters of recommendation will help me get in?
Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
