So I first started off pretty bad in that I had a 3.4 cgpa and 2.7 sgpa in a community college. I had 5 W's when I was in community college with a grade of C in General Biology 1, General Chemistry 1, precal 1, and genetics. The only science classes I got an A in was in general biology 2 and General Biology 1(repeated) and a B in precal 2. All of this was done while being a part time student who was working full time. After doing pretty badly in community college I decided to take a year off to get my act together and improved drastically.
In university I now have a 3.9 cgpa and sgpa. I have been getting nothing but A's in my university as a full time student. I have an A in General chemistry 2, Organic chemistry 1&2(including labs), Cell & molecular biology, Statistics, Biostatistics, Microbiology, Development and stem cells, and Virology. The only class I ever received anything lower than an A was Physics 1, in which I got a B in. When adding my cgpa's together I have a 3.5 cgpa. With my sgpa's mixed together I have a 3.3 sgpa. Overall though, even though I try to compensate for it, my gpa's are still lack luster. I have about a year left in school to improve, so I have to take biochemistry, physics 2, and a couple of gen eds then I am done. I am estimating that I can make my cgpa a 3.6 and sgpa a 3.4 or 3.5 by the time of graduation.
Also I heard that being an URM helps too so I also wanted to disclose that I am a black male who grew up in a low SES situation if that will affect my chances. I was wondering what do you guys think? With 5 W's, part time status, and several C's in community college how bad is everything? Will they be willing to overlook the past if my current trend shows a different story, with me getting A's in upper division courses? Thank you.
