I am a graduating this spring with a degree in Psychology. I have decided that I want to go to osteopathic school in order to become a psychiatrist but my grades are lacking (2.7). I am planning on taking next year to study for the MCAT, work and take some pre-med classes. I have a ton of volunteer experience in the medical field and my grades in psychology are very good, however, I am worried that I will spend a year studying like crazy for the MCAT and dedicating my life to becoming a better applicant when in reality my lacking GPA leaves it impossible for me to get into Medical School. I am willing to do as much work as necessary to get in, I guess I just need to hear that it is possible.
Have you heard of anyone being accpeted with a poor GPA?
What would you recommend for me to do in this next year to make myslef a better applicant?
Thanks for your help,
Kathleen
