Hello,
My gpa is a 2.5 probably now 2.6 after one semester of postbac classes and my mcat is a 487.
Hoping for feedback that will help.
Ohhhh boyo....here we go.
You have no business applying to any type of professional program right now.
Your GPA would be a reach even for SMPs or regular M.S. programs.
I am not trying to be mean, I am trying to get you to be realistic.
You will not survive in any type of medicine program with a 2.6 GPA.
You will not be able to pass standardized exams such as boards with a 487 MCAT.
Your best bet, if you really want to do a healthcare related field, is to retake courses as justici mentioned and get at the minimum- all Bs in them.
Retake the MCAT and get 493+.
Your GPA is an indication of how well you will do in the courses after you enroll.
Your MCAT is an indication of how well you can prepare for a standardized exam.
Right now they are no where near what they should be. Even IF you get in, you will struggle and potentially fail out.
Regarding Masters programs- programs know not all graduate programs are equal. If you do something easy like an MPH or something with no heavy science courses, you are only faking the GPA and lying to yourself. Because once you get in, 99% of the courses you are taking will be heavy science intensive.
Again, I am not telling you to give up. I am telling you to
focus less on getting in and focus more on fixing your habits so you can
finish after you get in.
The programs who are telling you to complete your application are doing you a disservice. It pisses me off to hear them egging you on without giving you honest and genuine advice.
