So here it is...
I have worked and managed a restaurant full-time for the last six years. Typically, I worked 45-50 hr/wk to support myself. Due to my occupational work load and other stressors that comprise life, my college coursework performance was not at my best.🙁 Therefore, I have a dismal 2.4 cumulative gpa (Biology Major). However, after calculating retakes only (as in DO school program gpa calculations), I do have a 2.998.
<< I wish I didn't have to work so much >>
My MCAT practice exams scores demonstrate that I am capable of handling medical school curriculum successfully. I have been scoring in the 32-37 range (taken 5 practice exams). I plan on taking the official exam in January.
For the Fall and Spring semester of the 2010-2011 school year, I am retaking classes to obtain a higher gpa.
I will do anything that is necessary to get accepted into medical school! Please give me any guidance or advice that you may have.
What post-bacc programs would be willing to accept and help me get in? Or, should I just skip the US and go to the Caribbean (the BIG 4 Caribbean Schools)? Or, is the Caribbean not even going to take me?
Does anyone know of a story similar to mine that made it in?
