Hello, I am an undergraduate at Hampshire College. I previously attended Hampshire College in 2008, but did very poorly. I then went to community college for 2 years, during which time I slowly improved. I am now back at Hampshire. I have a relatively low GPA from community college (about 2.5), and Hampshire College does not do grades, it instead utilizes portfolios for student evaluation. Because of this, I am considering transferring to University of Massachusetts at Amherst in order to raise my GPA, in addition to taking my courses at the community college during the summer. However, I am wondering if continuing at Hampshire and then doing a post bachelors premed program with be just as prudent as transferring to the University to improve my undergraduate GPA. Do you think a low GPA from community college would prevent me from being a serious candidate for any MD medical schools, even if I did well in a post bachelor program? Keep in mind that I plan to improve my cc grade to at least 3 or so even if I stay at Hampshire.
Thanks!
Thanks!
