University: Cal State Northridge
Degree: MS Biology (Fall 2014)
Undergrad GPA : 3.34
Pre-req GPA: 3.44
Graduate GPA: 3.92
GRE: 169 (V), 157 (Q), 5.5 (W)
Extra-Curricular/Work: PT aide at an outpatient clinic, Graduate student researcher at CSUN and UCLA, Teaching assistant and Peer Learning Facilitator for CSUN, Research associate at a biotech company, Lifeguard and Swim instructor

Applied (9/25/14) : Cal State Northridge, Cal State Long Beach, Cal State Fresno, Cal State Sacramento, Chapman University, Loma Linda University, Western University, UCSF, Mount Saint Mary's, Samuel Merritt, USC, University of the Pacific
Note: Pretty nervous about my GPA because I've only applied to CA schools. Hoping the master's and GRE help but a lot of schools rank by GPA. Ugh.

Also debating whether or not to apply to West Coast University which is still in the process of being accredited. Any thoughts? Thanks for the feedback!

Well, I have silently watched these forums long enough. As you can see, my cGPA is not very good and I have beat myself up over it for years. I am a non traditional student and not a good standardized test taker. I dealt with a lot of issues after being separated from the Marines. However, I am finally able to post here. I got my first acceptance letter today via email from Touro NV and I couldn't be happier. I yelled "YEEEEESSSSS" with a Tiger Woods fist pump right square in the middle of my campus...didn't even care that people were staring at me.

-id say you're sitting pretty well. If i were you, I would try to pick up a little more extra curric as in some community service or volunteering of some sort, BUT mainly focus on your GPA. boost that and id think its safe to say you'll get in
-I wouldn't worry too much about your GPA. You're undergrad is not that impressive, but Id think its good enough. Plus, you have an impressive graduate GPA, with a super strong GRE - stay positive - you'll end up somewhere 🙂
- what are your thoughts on lynchburg? i was recently accepted there too
They looked good against KC and were impressive against Philly despite those 3 return TDs. Can't wait til they got Aldon and Bowman back, just hope Kaep can get past the Russell Wilson & the Hawks! - and the Cards for divisional purposes

Yeah bro those were solid wins... I'm a little worried about the Harbaugh talk but it seems that they are still playing hard for him. I'm hoping Tank Carradune gets more PT, he's going to be a beast.

Did Nova send you an email or regular mail? Did you apply to the Fort Lauderdale program?
I got a letter in the regular mail saying I was on the Hold list. I did apply to the Fort Lauderdale campus. If you are accepted I have seen on past post they call and email you. Hope this helps!

I know how you feel🙂. I've noticed that a majority of programs love to make you hurry up and wait. I'm just assuming it will be January before I find out anything. Everyone on here will hear me scream for joy if I get in somewhere LOL
This is my second year applying, after being rejected everywhere last year. I did really poorly in my undergraduate career but being ten years older and wiser makes a real difference. I worked really hard to overcome my bad grades and applied to a place that has a GPA waiver. If I can do it, anyone can!

Hey I was on the SAAC too at my school!!,.... You have not heard from university of Miami? Because I just got my interview last week and you have pretty similar stats... When did you submitted?
Yeah, no word from Miami since they said my application was in review. I submitted back in August, I do not remember the exact date I got my money in. At this point I am assuming I am going to get rejected or am lower on there list when it comes to getting an interview since I have not heard anything. The fact that I have been accepted somewhere makes me less stressed about it though. Congrats on you getting an interview that is awesome!
