GPA: 3.1 Science GPA: 3.3 HELP!

[one2345]

HEy everyone! I need some advice regarding my situation.

I am a BME student with a cum gap of 3.1 and a science gpa of 3.3

I have done tons of medical designing and have actually won two awards in it.

I have also done research at the surgery department of my affiliated hospital.

I have volunteered plenty (tutoring) and also participated in a lot of extracurriculars.

I am planning on applying next summer and I was wondering what kind of MCAT score must I get? and if there is any chance of me getting into medical school.


Your help is much appreciated!

Get some shadowing done before then, and a 35+ score would lift you nicely. I hope you are attending a top tier UG, otherwise your GPA is too low.

I'd also hope that you're working on gaining clinical experience, within the mentioned extracurriculars.

Applying with a 3.1/35 with a strong upard grade trend in the sciences gives you about a 35% chance of an acceptance. How much higher can you get your cGPA before applying? Are you willing to apply to DO med schools as well to improve your chances of an acceptance?

To improve your chances at MD schools, you could consider two years of postbac work (getting straight As) or a Special Masters Program to override the low uGPA. For more info see the Postbaccalaureate Programs Forum.
