I posted a message yesterday about my chances of getting into med school with a UC Davis cummulative gpa of 3.2/2.7 Science and a gpa of 3.50 combined with that of Fresno City College where I transferred from. I currently received my B.A.S. degree in Italian and Biology.
Should I go to graduate school at my state college in Fresno and enroll in the postbaccalaureate program in biotechnology in order to boost my gpa? This 1 yr. certificate program can be applied to getting a masters degree so I thought if I applied to med school this coming June and didn't get accepted, I would only have 1 yr left before I would receive my masters and then I could reapply. Does a masters degree increase your chances of getting into med school? Would going to graduate school to try to boost my gpa help me in this process or should I concentrate on finding a meaty job in a hospital or clinic and study for the MCAT instead (I'm enrolled to take the test this April)?
Thanks.
Joel
