Has anyone had experience applying with a strong upward trend ie 2.5/3.5/4.0/4.0?? What was the outcome? I have a strong upward trend and have done very very well in my tough science courses, but still will probably only graduate my 'public ivy' with a 3.4-3.5 with the last 2 years (when I decided I wanted to pursue medicine) being at 4.0 (3.98 ish to be exact). I have As in courses like Orgo 1 and 2 Physics 1,2, Genetics, Molecular Bio but I got a C/C+ in Gen Chem 1,2 as a freshman and a writing course. Stupid Freshman, I know. I am taking the MCAT in January and am averaging between 31-33 on practice exams already and am making an all out effort to get in the mid 30s or above. I am planning on applying broadly and early for the fall of 2015 but I am very strongly considering an SMP for that fall as well. I have very strong and unique ECs and a good explanation for my poor freshman performance.
Thoughts??
