Hey everyone, I'm a bit of a crossroads here;
I'm going into my senior year to finish up my degree at Georgia State in Atlanta, but, unfortunately, my grades are not where they need to be for competitive purposes. I'm quite aware of this so I'm considering applying to the next application cycle for the matriculating class of 2011.
My question to you is, would it be a total waste of my money/time to apply for the 2010 cycle if I know my GPA is nowhere near where it needs to be (about a 2.6) in order to be competitive? I ask this because I know my extracurriculars look very good:
-3 years interning with an ortho
-own my own company
-founder and president of a university athletics team
-Research project pioneer with bio department
-lots of community service
But, would these endeavors even begin to tip the scale in my favor?
Also, I have yet to take the DAT...
