Hi guys,

So I have a 3.3 gpa and a 3.1 science gpa. I'm an engineering major, and I got to a pretty big state school. I just got a 31 mcat, and I know that I'm not a good enough applicant for MD programs right now. I really wanna be an MD and I want to go to a NY school (top choice: Rochester). I have 4 semesters left, so I'm gonna try to get my gpa to a 3.5 at least. I also am on 2 executive boards and am a part of a non-profit organization. I research, and I volunteer at a children's hospital. I know I have to shadow and pull up my gpa, but what else can I do during the next few semesters and my gap year to get acceptances to MD programs.

Thanks!
