Sorry guys if this will sound like another what are my chance thread. But i am trully looking for an honest advice.
As some of you may know i am taking 23 credit hrs this semester while trying to study for the MCAT (i do not recomend this approach, though it IS doable with a huge sacrifice of any free time).
So far i am running an A in every single class i am taking, except for orgo. There is a chance i may get even a C in it (not good ).
If that happens my Overall GPA will end up as 3.25 and my sci 3.05.
I have registered for two classes during the summer (sign language and gen chem1 retake). If these go well i will bring my gpas to 3.36 and 3.31sci.
I am not a sci major and i have not taken any upper level sci classes so i am not sure if that retake is a good idea or if it would be better to take biochem before applying?
My other question is that obviously i will want my summer classes to be calculated into my GPA. Now should i wait till edn of july to send my apps or should i send them asap in june and then update once the grades are in? How long the update takes?
I am also taking may 31st MCAT and the scores on it are released on june 30th. What score should i aim for (i know 45 but seriously LOL).
Am i being really late considering my low stats?
i will have great LORs from ppl who know me well and the rest of my apps info is here http://www.mdapplicants.com/viewprofile.php?myid=7201
Thank you in advance.
