Sooooo, just finished my Physics II finals. After getting As on all the test, I can say I screwed up 3 questions on the final which may lower me to an AB. Now my dream of getting a 3.713 this semester are slightly dashed. On top of this, I don't know if my one humanities class is curved or not so I could range anywhere from a C to an AB (yes...that sounds really bad, but this is a case where a curve hurts alot). If that's the case, I'm back to square one with a 3.667 or so.
Plus I got off the phone with my parents after my physics final and my mom was more supportive this time around if things go sour with the application process. Money and applications aren't cheap, so I'm wondering if it's better to wait until next year (possible 3.75+ then if things actually go well again) or try my lucky pending my MCAT score. I don't have great ECs, I'll have strong LoR, but all that could be improved in the upcoming year.
As for a backup plan I'd be volunteering full time at my dad's new practice for that year and possibly getting more hookups with doctors back at home so that would be a plus I'd think.
