Hello Everyone,

I had a chronic medical condition in undergrad, which contributed to a low GPA (3.1). Since then I've done a post-bacc (45 credits - 4.0), which gave my GPA a positive trend.

Does anyone know of specific medical schools that are known to have a willingness to look at/be favorable to positive GPA-trends? Assuming all other credentials are in order.

Thanks!

I'm in the same boat as you. Undergrad GPA ~3.38, but my post-bacc work has been a 4.0.

I think Wayne State looks closely at your entire application and is more willing to give 2nd chances

Consider osteopathic schools, they tend to be much more forgiving and look at the application holistically.

I know for VCOM they emphasize your last 120 hours.

Osteopathic school online application doesn't count old grades before retakes, so that might contribute to a rising trend.
