I did my first two years at cc and got a 3.57 GPA. I did most of the pre req classes for pre health schools. I transferred to a top university, and my grade went down too much. I am about to finish up my first year at university. I am technically a third year. I want to apply this upcoming cycle, but was unsure of my chances. I have a 2.33 university GPA overall from last two quarters. This quarter isn't over yet so I am hoping it goes up to high 2.8 or even a 3.0. This only takes into account my three quarters at university though. I did two whole years at cc, with over 100 units. I still have the OAT left, but I started studying and will continue until July. I have shadowing experience and community service experience in many clubs.
 
There will some schools that will question the low gpa during interviews, but if you do really good on your OAT you should be okay.

Hi! I am on the same boat as you are, I think if you do good on the OAT, above a 330, you should be fine. Most people told me that schools look at OATs more than GPA. What is your cumulitive GPA if you dont mind me asking?

From my University, it is 2.33 and from my cc it's 3.57. I heard optomcas will do a BCP gpa as a science gpa and then overall. I'm not sure how the overall will be calculated because I did two years at cc with semester system and one year at university with quarter system
