I've got a 3.6 GPA, but I've gotten 2 Cs and a W. Do you guys think I'm still in the running for allopathic medical schools?

 

[Ismet]

yes

 

[pandahunter]

So one yes, one maybe, and one no. Anyone got a more detailed analysis? Other facts about me: 30+ mcat, good ecs, and lors. Go to a barely top 100 school.

I mean, you asked a very simple, straightforward question and you received simple, straightforward answers.

The person who said no is joking, and I'm assuming the person who said maybe is either joking or meant that it depends on the rest of your app, which it does. I said yes because, yes, you definitely still have a shot at allopathic.

30+ MCAT is vague...that could be a 31 or it could be a 37. If you don't want to share, check out this table where you can find the average acceptance rate for people with your GPA and MCAT https://www.aamc.org/download/321508/data/2012factstable24.pdf

Okay, thank you. I'm just wondering: Is there anything particularly bad about the Cs if my gpa still remained competitive?

what classes were they in?

 

[neurotic3]

Cs in Calculus 2 and History. W in anatomy.

don't worry about it.

I would apply broadly, but wouldn't worry too much about it. I have a 3.5 with 4 Cs and still got accepted to a few schools (and one of my top choices!). Just show your best case in EVERY OTHER part of your application that you now have control over going forward, especially your interview, and you'll be fine.

What were your Cs in?
