Hi guys,

I need your help major. I was hoping on applying for the class of 2003. And also planning on taking the MCAT this august. If guys could evaluate my stats and give some suggestions, I would appreciate it a lot.

The following is a summary of my premed science classes.

General chem 1: C GChem Lab1: B
GChem 2: B GChem Lab2: B
Calculas 1: B Calculus 2: B-

Sopohmore Year:

My science gpa comes out to around a 3.0 with a cum of 3.28. Obviously, I need to beef up my science gpa. My science grades and over gpa are not high for a number of personal reasons, health problems in the family and me working parttime.

Nevertheless, I am graduating this semester with a BA in Economics. But i need to raise my science gpa and show the adcoms that I can handle science. What do you suggest I do? Should I wait another year and do an enrichment program such as the IMS program they have at MCP, BU and Georgetown? or take science classes as non-marticulant student at a University? So what do you guys think I should do? apply, wait, or just do some masters program? Thank you very much. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
