ok, as it stands, my overall gpa is about 2.8.. i graduated with a 2.6 gpa in economics.. however, so far my science gpa (BCPM) is about a 3.8 (i'm halfway done with my sciences).. knock on wood, if i finish with above a 3.7 BCPM gpa but my overall gpa is 2.9, will i even be considered? i am hoping that schools will notice that i've changed careers, am rededicated, and have a very late (but spiking) upward trend in my class scores... looking at mdapplicants.com, i dont see a lot of people like me with these type of statistics (high BCPM gpa, low cumulative gpa).. so i'm kinda worried here.. and most of the people with low gpa's are much older than me and have had previous careers for a while (doing something really extravagant, like fighting in iraq or some crap like that).. i graduated in 2003, worked for a year, realized what i wanted to do, then came back to school and volunteered, etc.
i can tell you right now, i am NOT the same student i was before.. for some reason, i'm actually pretty interested in my classes.. i wish i could convey that to admissions people, but my past academic career is still haunting me on a piece of transcript paper.
