I have c and s 3.0 gpa (bio major with like 2 minors) as a senior who's going to graduate a semester late with a 525. So that is already a gap year. there is no trend whatsoever, i would get a 4.0 one semester and 2.3 the next. irrelevant to whether the classes were hard (would get an A in orgo while a c in music...). My GPA will be around a 3.2 cgpa and 3.0 s gpa if i get a 4.0 my remaining semesters.
Ecs aren't that great
Certified Nurse Assistant and HHA (around 300 hours)
Clinical volunteering at a hospital (250+ hours in different specialties for 8 months)
Pharm tech(400 hours+)
No research - although did about 2 years in lab in HS and might participate in a lab this semester
Virtual shadowing with certificate (500+ hours)
Worked as a youth peer at a hospital (250 hours+)
Teachers assistant (200+ hours)
eboard member for a club related to helping the sick
ORMF, disadvantaged (low income if that counts), 1st to go to college in fam
Got diagnosed with ADHD this year hence the terrible grades along with other health issues that messed me up. I Gaslit myself into believing I was lazy so my studying habits would not work.
My question is should I even consider applying this year or do a post bac? I would end up getting accepted (if i do get accepted) in 2026 at that point if I apply in 2025
My dream would be to go to a NY or NYC school as I'm a resident who is poor and would need the aid.
