I'm applying this cycle and just got my GPA processed.
BCP/Science/Non-Science/Total = 2.49/2.52/3.63/2.90 inc +-.
In addition to being an average student, my science classes are abysmally low because I failed a class four times (I know, really stupid). I didn't think that it'd pull me down this much and I'm freaking out because I have no idea what to do moving forward.
I'm applying this cycle to 20 schools. With this knowledge now, if I even get an interview I'd break out laughing.
Here are my other stats, if you all could give me some guidance it'd be so so appreciated:
Neurobiology major. Non-minority at a top 15 public university.
GPA: 2.90 cum, 2.49 BCP
DAT: 20AA/18TS/20PAT (17/19/18/20/26/19 = bio/gc/oc/pat/rc/qr)
very strong ECs (pres outreach org, co-founder two other outreach orgs, and more)
strong research (scholarship, 3 years, 2000+hrs, no pubs)
pretty good letters (1 PI, 1 sci prof, 1 hum prof, 1 dentist, all know me well)
70+hrs observing at 5+ offices
also a volunteer dental assistant. Expecting 50+ hrs by January, many more later
I'm entering a fifth year so I can't take many more classes. Unless I double-major, which might be an option. Or should I get a master's? Post-bacc? Where do I even go?
Also what do I do about that one class that I kept failing? Biochem btw. I tried it, freaked out, dropped. Took it again later in a heavy courseload and failed. Freaked out even more and tried to pile it onto my other coursework and did even worse. The solution is obvious, and I'm gonna ace it next quarter on a lighter courseload, but how will I even begin to explain this massive string of failures?
Thank you so much for your input. I really need it.
