Well the problem was I had a 2.2 my freshman year ( was having problems dealing with dyslexia in college) and been making ~3.0 every year after that. It has only gotten up to a ~2.68...by the time I graduate this May it will not be high enough to get into a SMP. I have a good, strong upward trend it is just that I need more time to get it up to an over all of 2.9-3.0. It takes a long time to recover from this. That is why I was wondering about the informal post bacc.
Although I sympathize with your problems dealing with dyslexia, you will have to quantitatively show that you can do well in school. I'm sure people with dyslexia get into med school, but you have to prove that this will not affect your ability to do well in med school. As we all know, the med school environment is a lot more challenging than undergrad. True, you have shown an upward trend, and it has been significant (2.2 vs. ~3.0). But 3.0 work is still not adequate. Some of the post-bacc programs here in CA require you to maintain AT LEAST a 3.5 GPA when taking a full-time load of upper division science classes.
I mean no disrespect, but what has changed to allow you to perform to these higher standards? Its great that you are looking into ways to improve your GPA. However, in all honesty, you have reached the point of diminishing returns, and you are working with a very small margin of error. Therefore before starting an informal/formal post-bacc, I'd think about:
(1) Is an MD/DO degree realistic within your abilities. The academic requirements are well-published in the MSAR, and many other places.
(2) Which study skills worked? Which did not? How will you change your ways to perform better in class?
(3) Is it realistic for you to maintain at least a 3.5 GPA (if not higher) when taking a full-time courseload of upper division science classes.
(4) How does your performance in class translate into doing well on the MCAT?
I hope you put some to realistically, and honestly think about this. Myself and a few friends have had this moment of self-reflection, and resulted in us changing our methods, and reprioritized our lives. As a result, we have drastically improved our performance in school. But I have known a few friends who have also been in denial, or ignored their faults. They ended up wasting time, rather than improving their stats. I hope that you are in the former group of people...but you know yourself the best.
