[Barton]

Just curious how SDN acceptees stack up against the rest of the world. Please fill out my survey with you UNDERGRAD CUM GPA.

And I thaught my 3.3 something was going to be lonely.

Why would SDN members be any different than the general applicant pool? After all there is a wide spectrum of people who use SDN. THis is not an elitist organization.

Okay Barton I am curious to find out what the results will be. I hope that the sample size is large enough so that it will hold some statistical weight.

Looks like kind of a skewed sample so far........

We need more data, folks, so c'mon, you don't even have to post to add your GPA.

I think the poll is useful, but you really should have had categories from 2.70-2.79, 2.80-2.89, and 2.90-2.99... I'm really curious about the people <3.0.

We need a larger sample. Those that haven't voted yet please do.

 

[oldman]

i guess we should keep bumping this so people will vote.

for GPA, should it be ugrad? or include all post-secondary grades?

 

[Doctora Foxy]

I don't think people are being honest in the poll....do you guys think it's reasonable that 23% of the voters have over a 3.9 gpa? That seems a little high......but maybe I'm wrong.

 

[oldman]

who knows. hopefully enough honest people vote to make the effects of the dishonest people negligent.

I got in with a 3.64, a 27T on the MCAT (heh, I studied for a few weeks before the exam. I flew in from Germany to take it two days later. )

In my interview experience, GPA doesn't matter half as much as what you do outside the classroom and your personal character.

Get you some clinical experience now! Volunteer at a hospital, take a medical records job, anything! Believe me, it weighs in heavily and it helps tremendously. Especially those with less than stellar grades and test scores.

oops i voted this morning by accident because i thought it was just SDNers' GPAs, not accepted SDNers, but as of this afternoon, my vote is legit! and damn does it feel good.

Very top heavy. I guess that is the trend now. Less people are applying but those who are and get in are very strong academically. I was told that 20 years ago someone with a 3.3 29 MCAT made up the middle of the matriculants. Now those numbers seem weak.
