Hi all,
Current Stats:
Third yr electrical engineering student.
First yr GPA: 3.34
Second yr GPA: 2.9
Can do 3.5 in my engineering courses in the last 2 years.
Can do 3.7 in pre-med courses, if and when i take them.
Can do 30-34 on MCATs, did a few practice ones.
Now i think that i dont have a very good chance in a canadian med school, so i am ready and willing to go to a US med school.
Now, my dilema is:
Only If i have a favorable chance of gettin in a US med school, only then i shud take the pre-med courses.
These courses otherwise are no use to me.
I have some debating, some leadership some volunteering behind me, but i have 2 yrs left and i can do a lot more.
So my question for u guys is:
Shud i take the risk of taking the pre-med courses( lik if u guys think u have a decent chance of gettin in)? I wanna take biology as soon as next semester.
Would a US school look at the toughness of a engineering degree?
Would they look into the fact that i did OK in mah first 2 yrs, and when i had a reason to think bout med school( somethin happened in the summer) i started to get good grades? Like if mah overall GPA is 3.3ish and mah last 2 yrs is 3.6ish.
So for rite now, with all ur expert opinions, the first question is most imp, shud i register and start taking pre-med courses.
Any-experience anyone has had with US schools will be helpful.
Thanks.
