Hey guys, my UG degree was in engineering, and I'll soon be working on completing my last couple of pre-req classes for an MD program while working as a scribe. I am of hispanic origin with a ~3.45 GPA.
During my UG, I had the option of applying to an accelerated BS->MS program, which I did and was accepted, because my GPA was a bit higher starting off, at about 3.8. I have a few classes of Grad work under my belt which counted towards my BS, but I did not take any more of them since completing my BS.
Here's where the question comes in: I'm wondering if I should consider completing the master's degree (which would only entail 6 more classes) in industrial engineering simply to improve the GPA for my application? Is the master's degree factored in? Input appreciated, thanks!
