here is my story and i would like to hear from everyone.
i graduated with a bachelor degree in cell and molecular biology back in 2009. however, my g.p.a. is pretty low and here is my stat for the pre-req: cGPA: 2.7 and sGPA is even lower.
Biology 1 with lab: B
Biology 2 with lab: B
General Chemistry 1 with lab: C
General Chemistry 2 with lab: B
Organic Chemistry 1 with lab: C
Organic Chemistry 2 with lab: C
Physics 1 with lab: C
Physics 2 with lab: B
English 101: B
English 103: B
Calculus 1: C
Calculus 2: B
Speech/Public speaking: B
Psychology: A
Sociology: B
I'm currently taking Statistics/Anatomy/Physiology/Microbiology in a CC and aiming to get all As for this semester and summer semester. Hope this can help me to bring up my g.p.a. a little bit.
I did also earned 3 Ds in upper science courses such as Immunology, Endocrinology, and Bioinformatics. I earned Ds in immunology and endocrinology due to the difficulty of the materials and i didn't really know what to study for those 2 classes at that time. I would blame myself to earn D in bioinformatics because i was working so much and was not paying attention much to the course. I can guarantee that if i could re-take these again, i would have earned a much better letter grades.
I've been working volunteering in different hospitals, shadowing MD docs/PA, and planning to apply to PA school to graduate as physician assistant b/c i was kinda giving up to go for MD/DO. But as seeing what PA does at a hospital where i was volunteering, i could assure it was not what i wanted to be in the future and it was not the job i wanted to do for the rest of my life.
i really want to be in MD/DO schools no matter what it takes for me to get there. I hope that you guys here in this forum could give me some advice of what i need to do and what i can do from here. is it too late for me to pursuit my dream? i will not give up as long as it still has just a little light at the end of the tunnel.
during the last few weeks, i've been screening throughout the sdn pre-med forum, i feel like i still have hope to go for what i want even though it's still long road ahead.
my g.p.a. is so low to apply to any post-bac program. what i can do to get into any post-bac program and to take post bac upper bio division courses to improve my g.p.a., and what does "DO grade replacement?" I'm really confused of these processes and can't find any helpful information online.
thanks guy for reading my post and i look forward seeing your advice.
