Hello, everyone!
Sooooo..... I started undergrad in 2002, and almost finished undergrad with a 2.29 in 2007. I was going through some dark times (illness, cancer, death in the family, etc). Having only been 1 lab away from graduating, I unfortunately accrued 140 units of terrible grades during that time, inclusive of Cs, Ds, and Fs. Anyway, I took a hiatus from school for a while.
For the past two years now, I've retaken over 100 BCMP units with straight As. I've gotten scholar awards, Dean's list, Chair of an Honor Society, etc etc. Yet, I was only able to bump my overal science GPA from 2.29 to 2.94), and still trying to bump it up a teeny bit more, but its so difficult having had so many units to account for.
What are my chances of getting into a US Allopathic program? Pretty please!
cGPA: 3.01 sGPA: 2.94
MCAT: 29
Clinical volunteer: 200 hours clinical care extender at a hospital
Physician Shadowing: have been shadowing different doctors with different fields for a year and continuing to do so.
Research: Currently doing research in Physiology: working with different kinase inhibitors targeting COX-2 gene expression
Nonclinical volunteer activities: Active Alpha Delta Epsilon Honor Society, various volunteer activities twice a month (Stride for Breast Cancer Awareness, walks, time at childrens centers, convalescent centers, etc)
Employment: Bartender, Server, currently working to get CNA-certified for more experience
I'm working so hard! Please tell me there might be light at the end of the tunnel?
Thanks for your time!
