i know alot of u post baccers out there suffered the same fate as i during undergrad: poor poor grades for pre-med pre-reqs with a come back during upper division courses. my question to you is: in ur personal statement how detailed of an explanation did u give for ur poor performance? for me, i was just a lazy lazy starcraft playing fiend. i dont think i should tell them that. but i need to tell them something! i think my bcpm is a 2.7, many c+/b- and one F. i was able to rally back with a 3.7 average for my last 2 years. one semester i just fell into a good academic groove and pulled a 4.0 and the rest of the semesters turned out just fine. but i really dont have a explanation for my turning point, and thus, i dont know how to explain this in my personal statement. i cant tell adcom i decided to trash my starcraft cd so thats why my gpa went up. anyone else in a similar situation? i need to finish my personal statement soon cuz smp deadline is right around the corner. any advice is appreciated
