Hi,
I got my undergrad degree in 2017 in Engineering and my GPA was ~3.1 which is obviously not great at all. I started a formal post bacc program in spring of 2018 and so far my GPA is around 3.75. I also have accumulated a lot of volunteer and research experience under my belt in that time. I am still a year out but I am wondering if I were able to maintain that postbacc GPA and do well on the MCATs would I have decent chances to get into an MD/DO program? How do admissions look at postbacc grades? do they consider them more highly than undergrad since they are more recent and relevant? Appreciate any insight, thanks!
