So... I just had my GPA verified.

And unfortunately, my BIOC course, which I am not partiularly good at, got counted as a Biology course.


So my updated stats are:

sGPA: 3.11
BCP GPA: 3.42
oGPA: 3.48
non Sci GPA: 3.86

good enough shadowing hours/ extracurricular activities/ research/ letter of rec/ personal statement.

DAT:

PAT: 25
QR: 24
RC: 24
BIO: 28
GC: 25
OC: 20
TS: 23
AA: 24



The schools I'm currently applying to are:

Buffalo
Michigan
Case
Columbia
Pacific
NYU
Penn
Creighton
Minnesota
Western
UCLA
UCSF
ASDOH
Boston
Tufts
New England
LECOM

I personally know admission staff at Case, since I'm undergrad & one of the LOR I got used to teach at Case and now somewhat involved with New England. The low sci GPA is due to first two years spent at an engineering school & I transferred after that with an increase in GPA from 3.07 to 3.73.
Graduating this summer with B.A. in biology and psychology with minor in Japanese.

I am also CA resident. Thank you.


The low GPA is really frustrating.....
Any recommendations on more schools to apply to?

I do want to apply to the two Midwestern schools, but I didnt take physiology, or anatomy, and I don't think I'll have room to take those as I have to take Organic Chemistry Lab 2 and Biochemistry again.

Any advice...?

Great dat scores. Looks like a pretty solid app. You could always add roseman, new school in Utah.
 
I don't get how you can possibly be nervous with those scores.
 
Nice DAT. You're good, for sure
 
I have added both Roseman & USC. Really glad they don't require supplemental applications...

I have some D's and F's on my courses... so I'm hoping my DAT scores will have the ADCOMs forget about that... But thanks for all your input!

Are those D's and F's in any of your pre-reqs?
 
Yes.

Most are retaken and got A or B,

but one I have not yet been able to retake yet.

Ok thats good uve retaken them. From what I know that you need a minimum of C's in your pre-reqs. Even if you get accepeted I think they would need you to retake the pre-req class you have lower than a C in and make sure you pass or do well in them. Otherwise they mite rescind your acceptance. I think this is how it works
