Is this true?

I recently talked to my pre-health adviser about my chances of being accepted to podiatry school. I was worried about my chances because i messed up my science gpa early on which resulted in a couple retakes. Also I am majoring in a non science which didn't allow my schedule to take many science classes to make up for my bad start early on. Anyway, my advisor told me that if my overall gpa is about a 3.5 and when I apply my science gpa is a 2.75, an MCAT score of 25 would offset my science gpa and I should get in somewhere if I applied early.

So what do you think?
overall gpa 3.5, sgpa 2.75, MCAT 25 = acceptance?

I guess I should also add that i've been job shadowing a pod for 9 months,(will be a year and a half by the time I apply) am in a pre-med club, and have tons of non-clinical volunteering with about 30 hours of volunteering in a hospital. In addition to this I go to a competitive private school which my counselor said would help.

Thanks for all the input, good or bad! 🙂

- Apply now, and you will get accepted somewhere. Still kind of hard to believe you have a 3.5 oGPA and 2.75 sGPA??? But 25 MCAT is good enough (as long as you don't have any subsection below a 6) to get in so apply and apply NOW.

Yep, apply broadly and don't be too choosy and you should get at least one acceptance letter.
