I will be entering my 3rd year this September.
The last two summers I have been working at a Pharm. Company in Research and Development.
Last 3 years I have been volunteering at Hospitals (Physio, Emerg.)
Have not yet written my MCAT, but believe that I can do well.
I know that my grades are weak, but I'm hoping that they don't kill my chances.
Any suggestions about improving my grades and thoughts on my chances of getting into med school?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Could you please post what these percentages translate into grade-wise and what school you are from and where you are from?
Thanks.
 
from e:

First year GPA 2.80
Second year GPA 3.50
University of Western Ontario, Canada
Also, I heard that the US does not consider Canadian students as international. Any truth to that? How much does med-school cost in the States? Is $40 000 true?
Thanks.
