So she looked at my GPA (3.5) and says, ya not good at all. I tell her i know its not great but people do get in with those grades. She asks "Oh, really, to what schools?" Ouch. Then i asked her what activities to include and she told me not to include anything non medicine related (like work, leadership positions in non medical clubs). I was a bit surprised at that since i have been hearing that medical schools like well rounded individuals. She admits my EC's are great, so i ask her do you think medical schools will look less harshly on my GPA since they will see how busy and involved i was? She says nope. Medical schools only want ideal people. Who have amazing grades and my level of involvement. I came out of there feeling so depressed .
