3.4

What are my chances at a mid-tier MD? I know the overall GPA is low, but does the upward trend, MCAT and EC's compensate?

A 3.4 sGPA

I got a 2.7 freshman year and a 3.0 sophomore year.

Been sort of an uphill battle ever since, but do you think I've climbed mount improbable?

I would say you would get some MD interviews for sure if you apply broadly. You have solid EC's, great MCAT, and even though your GPA is below average you have a good upward trend. What state are you a resident of?

And again, any DO school.

Michigan. Almost negligible chance at U of M, but I think I'll give MSUCHM, MSUCOM and Wayne State a shot. Wayne would be tough. Then of course, lots of OOS friendly out of state schools.
