Hi Everyone,
So I just got my grades for this semester of my MS program.
Pathology C+
Physiology B
Biochemistry C
Pharmacology C
This brought my GPA down from a 3.35 to a 2.89.
My undergraduate GPA is terrible. So bad that I'm embarrassed to say. I was accepted to the MS program because they allowed grade replacement for admissions purposes. I retook all my undergraduate classes and even upper division classes and got A's and B's. But the damage was done.
I have a good story. I was the first person in my family to even graduate high school and I was homeless for a time during my undergraduate. I'm also an URM.
I have really good EC's and a 22 MCAT. I only have one 2 credit hour class left in my MS. If I get an A, my GPA will only increase to a 2.99. I'm willing to retake the MCAT if you guys think I still have a chance. But I'm also 32 years old with a family. I'm willing to walk away from medicine if everyone thinks I've run out of luck. I emailed admissions at all 9 schools. I'm still waiting to hear back.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks for the help.
