Hi all,
I am a 1st year PhD student (pharmacology), who is interested in switching to MD/PhD, or doing an MD after my PhD.
I went to a hyper-competitive and hyper-prestigious engineering school (think sunny weather ) for undergrad, and got a 3.5 cGPA, and a 3.2 sGPA, BUT the sGPA is composed of a handful of C's and D's in science and math, and a lot of A's to bring it back up. I majored in chemical engineering. I also took the MCAT's 3 years ago (after college), without much studying and got in the low 20's. (I guess a combination of arrogance and laziness).
I am in a science PhD program now, and have a 3.8 GPA. My classes are with other PhD students, and also SMP students. My GPA puts me in the top 1/4 - 1/5 of the class. I also have a few decent publications, and have volunteering hours.
I'd really love another chance -- is there any way to salvage my record?
