Over the summer I took a few community college courses to get ahead in my classes and one of them was a Philosophy class that I never ended up transferring my credit for. I didn't realize this at the time and now it is December, but I have an incomplete for the class and I'm not exactly sure why. I am trying to change this with the teacher because I believe it was a mistake. If this incomplete cannot be changed however, would this affect my chances of getting into medical school?
I don't have a great gpa as of right now as well. For my university, I have a 3.49 and at the community college I had a 3.89 since the incomplete is not included. I'm worried on how this incomplete would look and if it would translate as an F on AAMC. This would bring my gpa very far down and I probably won't even be able to meet the 3.0 quota.
Another issue is that I've had a tough time trying to volunteer and find clinical experience with the pandemic going on. I live with my mom who has a chance of falling severely ill if I were to spread the virus to her. She also works in an area that is high in elderly population so I am not exactly willing to take the risk of doing any clinical experience since I am already a research assistant right now and that is enough of a risk now. It has been hard for me to find any clinical experience around me because every hospital and clinic has paused their volunteer programs and etc. Is this something I should be worried about?
I am still a second-year in undergrad on a 5 year program but I have devised a plan to graduate in the regular 4 years. I want to apply to medical school in my 4th year.
Thank you and I hope everyone is doing well.
