Hi everyone,
Last year was my first year away from home and I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I took lots of humanities and gen eds and I partied a little too much and I ended up with a 2.4 overall gpa. This summer I decided I wanted to go the pre-med route and this semester I have managed to turn my B's and C's in humanities courses to 3 A's and a B in entry-level science courses.
I recognize that I am severely disadvantaged due to my horrid freshman year, and that the highest I can get my gpa to if I make straight A's from here on out is a 3.7. Realistically looking at it considering my history, I'll probably be looking at a 3.5 when i graduate. So I suppose my question to you, the student doctor network, would be what should I do to compensate for my less than stellar gpa?
