Only a freshman in college, but I'm owning up to my mistakes as early as I possibly can and doing what I can to amend them. I'm a believer of having all my bases covered, and want to do things right the first time around--rather than be that depressed senior undergraduate asking what to do about a 3.0 GPA.
I currently have a 2.8 GPA. My science GPA, however, is a 1.3. This is because I have only taken three real science classes in college: Chemistry, Biology, and Algebra. I took Chemistry while still in high school and failed it, because I skipped the final exam. I took Biology last year and withdrew, then enrolled later for an online class and made a D. Then comes Algebra, which is a B because I actually put effort into it.
This looks very bad, and it is bad. I know that this will be asked about this down the line, but I am done feeling bad about it and all I'm interested in is working hard. And I have been, my grades are better now and I am waiting until I transfer to a four-year to take any more science classes--which I plan on working hard in. Obviously I am at a disadvantage, even with showing an upward trend.
I will have thirty-one credit hours done when this semester ends.
Volunteer hours: Low right now, but rising due to volunteering in the ER weekly.
Shadowing hours: None, plan on starting that soon.
MCAT: Obviously I haven't taken it yet.
I am starting a research project when I transfer next year and am planning a major in the sciences. I want to know exactly what I must do to improve, and what my chances are if I do improve.
If anyone interested needs any more information about my academic status in order to offer advice and criticism, I'll be happy to share it.
