I have done a self-guided post-bacc for the past year now. Pretty much none of the medical school pre-reqs were taken when I began it and I had a sGPA of 2.5 (but 3.7 cGPA). I had previously taken Calculus 1-3 and a couple other science courses while in undergrad.
I took all the pre-reqs and I've also been taking classes like intro Astronomy/Life in the Universe, Psychobiological classes like Neuropsychology/Physiological Psychology and also intro statistics. This has raised my sGPA all the way to around a 3.5.
I am worried that ADCOMs at MD and DO schools might look at my transcripts and knock me because they aren't the typical upper level biology classes. This post-bacc had to be as cost efficient as possible while ensuring I raised my sGPA. I didn't didn't want to be weeded out by a computer when applying due to a low sGPA. I figure that if I kill the MCAT, then they know what I'm capable of regardless of strength of post-bacc courseload.
What say you guys?
