I've gone through some posts here and these have countered what I've been told about GPA's. My undergrad gpa in anthro is around 3.8, 3.6 general. I just got an mph and graduated with a 3.5 (but my school also doesn't give pluses and minuses). Unfortunately, I did get two C's--one in undergrad and one in my master's--for personal reasons.

I still have to take all of my science prereq's. So I'm wondering what kind of chance I still have at an MD if I get excellent rec's, volunteer and research experience and good MCAT's?
