Hi, I'm currently a junior with 40-50 credits left to take with a current overall gpa of 3.018. My sci gpa is even worst, probably around 2.3ish. So far, I have only taken bio, chem, 1 semester of math and 1 semester of organic chem.. and the sad thing is.. during freshmen year I took both bio and chem and received C's but.. somehow I managed a B+ in organic chemistry. I still have approximately 15 credits left to fill the bare minimum sci/math reqs... so I might be able to pull it up to a 2.7ish.. which still sucks.
My question is, would a postbac help me out? I read from other forums that said that if I managed to get 3.8+ for a postbac, it would increase my chances dramatically but after reading this forum (because they look at undergrad gpa and postbac gpa separately?) it looks like med schools would just average the two together. Another question, I currently have 4 W's and 1 N/C... which really sucks... so how badly would it affect my chances at 1) a postbac and 2) a med school with 3.8+ postbac gpa... I have pretty good recommendations, ec's and a 37 on my mcats...
thanks for your time
