Hello
I am a senior at a liberal arts college (tier 1) majoring Neuroscience. I currently have a 2.74 GPA and a BCPM of 2.57. I have a D in Orgo2 and Biochemistry. I expect a 2.9 overall GPA and a BCPM of 2.68 by the time I graduate. I haven't taken the MCATs but will dedicate this winter break and next semester to it to get above 30.
I have volunteered in the ER room. I volunteer now as an EMT on the campus EMS squad. I will be shadowing a surgeon next semester. I am greatly involved in the local church, teaching kids and carrying out tasks.
I wish to do VCU's SMP and then matriculate into their medical school. I have been looking into Drexel and Tufts as well.
My question here, is whether I have a chance to any of the SMPs and then successful matriculation into med school despite my low BCPM. Should I do a 5th year taking higher level courses, or should I just push through? Thank you so much.
gotta sleep now...
