I graduated with a BA in Psychology three years ago with a dismal 2.4 gpa. Since then I have continued working as an Ophthalmic assistant and have recently completed my med school prereqs with a 90 credit hour post-bacc, which i finished with a 4.0. I took the MCAT last year and scored a 33.
Here's my question, and I'm sure you know whats coming...Do I stand a chance? I am hoping that schools will see the dramatic turnaround and see my recent performance as stellar, and would give me a shot. With my three years of clinical experience as well, I am hoping that overall I will be viewed as a great candidate. If need be, I am also looking into SMP.
I am not ruling out DO, but I would MUCH prefer MD...thoughts?
