So from what I have seen, my pre-med situation is a bit different from pretty much everyone elses. For starters, I dropped out of high school and got my GED. I started my ugrad at a community college and then transferred to a 4-year where I began by being a pre-law poli-sci major. I quickly realized that this was not what I wanted, career-wise, and, through some job-related exposure, I eventually realized that I wanted to be a physician. My problem began, though, when I was still poli-sci. I was taking pre-reqs for my degree plan and I wasn't focused at all. Bored by my classes, I ended up doing quite poorly in two consecutive semesters. For the sake of time and space, I'm just going to sum all that into a "pre-freshman" area for calculating my GPA. Then came the transition to becoming a pre-med bio major, and all of that foolishness changed. At this point, though, came a transition to another school. I did, and have done, quite well in all of my classes from then to this point. I retook those classes(they were non-BCPM) that I did poorly in and made A's in them.
I took the MCAT in March and was surprised by my scores:
PS: 9 VR: 11 WS: M BS: 10 Composite: 30M
Here are the numbers for each semester:
"Pre-freshman" - cGPA: 2.53 BCPM: 2.82
2nd sem "freshman"(12hrs) - 3.667
1st sem "sophomore"(14hrs) - 4.0
2nd sem "sophomore"(15hrs) - 3.8
1st sem "junior"(16hrs) - 3.667
2nd sem "junior"(9hrs) - 4.0(prospective)
After I make all A's this semester, my GPA's will be at the following levels:
cGPA: 3.33
BCPM: 3.64
I am a Texas resident applying to all the schools in-state plus 8(?) out of state.
So what are my chances?
