Hello all,
I know there had been many threads like this but I am still really stressed about this. I was wondering if I could get some help/advices on this.
I just graduated my undergrd in bio in spring 2020 from University of Utah, here's are my stats.
Overall GPA: 3.074 including repeats, 3.159 on transcript
Science GPA: 2.903 using university audit, self calculated 3.01, not sure the exact
DAT score: 18 (Planning to retake in August, aiming a 22+)
AA: 18 Survey of NS: 17
Bio: 16 Gen chem: 19 Ochem: 18 PAT: 17 QR: 19 RC: 18
State of Residence: Utah
Undergrad Attended: University of Utah
Major: Biology
Minor: Chemistry
Minority? No
Reapplicant? No
Nontrad? No
Volunteer hours: 200+
Shadowing hours: 100+
Unfortunately no research experience yet.
I had a mental breakdown during my 2nd semester of junior year and fall semester of senior year, those gpas were around 2.5. My last semester had a 3.7. So kinda an upward trend but not really.
If I actually got a better DAT in this August, and do more volunteering and shadowing, do you think I will have a chance getting in the next cycle? I am really afraid the 2.9 sGPA is gonna kill me.
Thank you for reading this, if you can give me some advice I would really appreciated!
