Non-Gpa Enhancer Program (Career Changers)

Hi everyone,

For non-GPA Enhancer programs, that is, those of us who will be under the Career Changer postbac where we have taken 0 of the science classes, is our undergrad gpa still going to be used in Med School admissions process? That seems out of place/sync if it is, since even a GPA Enhancer program is used to just enhance the science courses and nothing else. For career-changers (recent grads but still under that category), why then would our undergrad GPA be included when applying to med school and not just the Postbac career-changer GPA? Does anyone know anything about this? It seems awkward why they would include u.Gpa when the science courses are what determine your suitability, not your non-science undergrad GPA. Thank you if you can help.

How terrible are we talking? My cc gpa combined with my university gpa amounts to around 3.0 to 3.1ish or so, I feel damned. I just got into a Postbac (a good one, too), so now I'm a little daunted or fearful. Is this a helpless scenario then? Shooting for top med schools like Dartmouth or Harvard..how can that fare out? Thank you.
