I am in my second semester of junior year and am a ORM nontrad student 24 y/o. I currently have a 3.5GPA I will finish with over 2000 clinical hours (MA, ER tech, EMT,EMT-P) about 500 volunteer hours in both clinical and non clinical mainly clinical though. I will have been a TA for the undergrad anatomy lab for 5 semesters and the PA anatomy lab for 3. 50 hours of shadowing, (OB,ER,IM). I also took class through another institution to get my EMT-Paramedic that wasn't college since it is just a certification technically. I am taking a gap year to mcat study so no score for that yet. My biggest kickers are that I have 3 C's and 5 W's on my transcript. My first semester freshman year I didn't know what it meant to withdraw as neither of my parents went to college so I withdrew from all of them but 1 then Summer between sophomore and junior I took a chem class and withdrew as the teacher was horrid. I am not a crazy good student and have to work full time while in school means I don't have the time that others do. I am debating retaking a few science classes at a Community college since my uni won't let you retake classes that are pre-reqs. I'm currently getting my butt kicked by org chem and just preparing if I need to retake it lol. Am I cooked? Starting to feel kinda hopeless as everyone else does so well in class while I struggle bus along. Will my clinical hours help make up for not so great GPA? Everyone seems to tell me different things.
