Hey guys, going to get straight to the point. I just graduated from a top10 public school in CA. I was in undergrad for a total of 5 years (3 yrs CC, 2 yrs Uni). I got a pretty low gpa in my 2nd and 3rd year because I started working full time to help my parents bc my dad got injured at work. I'm a first generation URM student. Here are my grades year by year
Overall: cGPA - 3.51 | sGPA - 3.37
Year 1: 3.653 GPA | 4.00 sGPA
Year 2: 3.384 GPA | 3.20 sGPA
Year 3: 2.730 GPA | 2.50 sGPA
Year 4: 3.772 GPA | 3.684 sGPA
Year 5: 3.895 GPA | 3.844 sGPA
Note: Units aren't the same year by year and years 1-3 are semester units while 4-5 are quarter units.
My total CC GPA is a 3.3, University GPA is a 3.84, and cGPA is a 3.51. I graduated w/ department honors and my EC's are good. Do I stand a chance at MD schools if I do well on the MCAT? My goal is to stay in CA.
Also, I got C's in 4 pre req courses (Phys I, Chem II, OChem II, Bio II). Should I retake these in order to boost my sGPA to a 3.5?
