I finished my undergrad after 8 ('00 to summer 08)years where i withdrew 4 fall semesters due to personal circumstances going into my junior year. I dont know how to explain it. It wasnt due to drugs, alcohol, etc. but I just didnt know what i wanted to do. I lost a lot of money. I was a biology major but switched to the natural sciences major in order for me to finish over the summer (i had two sciences plus labs and a writing practicum to finish in my bio major but none was offered in the summer). I only have C's in Ochem 1 and 2, Genetics, and Evolution. I HAVE A 2.90 science GPA but the way my transcript is so checkered, I dont know how to explain my self as i am trying to enroll in a post-bac program.

In the summer of 2006 i attended two mediocre Caribbean schools that did not require the MCATs and completed a year down there before i couldnt stand the lack of structure and half ass administration as well as the fact they WERE NOT ACCREDITED yet. I returned to the states at the end of spring '07. I cant even find the first school i attended to get my first semesters transcript and i am done wasting my time trying to find them or even put i went to the caribbean since the schools were not legit in the first place.

I NEED EXPERT HELP and ADVICE as i am now studying for the MCAT with Kaplan and Examcrackers so i can get a high score that will hopefully weigh out my horrible undergrad.


I am looking in the Drexel pathway of medicine post bac program

Now i have worked countless hours in the E.R. and the O.R. My dad is an E.R. doctor so that helped me out a lot to get that opportunity but the last thing i want to show is that whole "oh i come from a family of physicians" blah blah....

any help guys
 
This a repost, I remember reading it before.

Either way, you are going to have a hard time of it with a sub-3.0 GPA, and withdrawing from a previous medical school (Carib or not) is going to take some SERIOUS explaining.
