So basically, during my undergraduate studies, I was majoring in Molecular and Cellular Bio and due to severe illnesses (multiple ones too), including 2 surgeries, my gpa was only 2.0. I still took 5 courses per semester for 2 years and my grades suffered.
Then I withdrew from the university and started after taking a full semester off to get proper treatments.
My gpa trend was as follows:
1st year: 2.0
2nd year: 2.5
3rd year: 3.5
4th year: 3.9
During both 3rd and 4th year, I took 6 courses per semester, all science courses, to prove that I can do better and handle such course load.
After graduating from BSC, I started Masters in Biology which I am completing in only one year and received 4.0 in summer and in this fall semester.
Cum GPA (Both undergrad and Masters): 3.2
Right now am studying for MCATs and am getting 30-31 in my practice exams.
I have extensive 6 years experience of research and am going to be a co-author in 3 publications.
I have a lot of shadowing experience and hospital volunteers as well.
I haven't applied for any MD schools yet. Is there a chance of me getting in for Fall 2014 semester if I apply now? And which schools should I apply for?
