Graduated Cum Laude from good school.
My cGPA at the school I graduated from was 3.73 but i transferred as a sophomore and before that my grades sucked so according to AACOMAS my sGPA is 3.48 and cGPA is 3.59. I am taking the MCAT in September so my application wouldn't be complete until October.
My EC's are average/good.
Do I have a chance to be admitted with such a late application ? NY Resident so thinking NYCOM, UMDNJ, PCOM, LECOM etc. and looking at above 28 MCAT

A lot rides on the MCAT obviously. Everything else is fine and October isn't too bad.

As long as your MCAT is good, you are fine in October. The only problem I see is from the older schools giving an interview, but that is if you MCAT is low (early the better in this scenario).

If you have an October (pretty late) application, you'll probably want to add a few more schools with broader stats. A 3.5/28 is average or slightly below average for the majority of the schools you list.

Of course this is all just hypothetical without a real MCAT score...

you are fine granted you score +25 (need higher for pcom though)

I'm pretty sure Rowan, PCOM, and NYCOM all have averages around 3.6+/28. I would recommend a few "safeties".

Hey, you should be fine! I applied to only 4 schools in Feb with lower stats and got in.

Good luck! 🙂

shoulda been more specific. Meant if he applied broadly and not just those schools.
