Hi everyone! I'm extremely confused and was just wondering if anyone could help me out.
I have a low GPA (2.9 science) but I've had straight A's with 12 credits of upper level bio for the past 2 semesters. I was going to continue with another year, and if I get the same type of grades I have gotten this semester, my BCP gpa would be a little bit above a 3.0. I'm from Florida and I'm really hoping to get into any Florida school, and since LECOM is new, I was thinking my chances might be better there.
But I've recently met up with a dean of admissions form NOVA 2 months ago and I was discouraged when he told me that continuing on with just taking upper level bios wouldn't help and that I need to get into a masters program (like NOVA's for instance) and while I know that NOVA is more competitive than some other schools, it really made me wonder.
Would an upward trend of 2 years of straight As in all upper level science courses with a 3.0 science GPA be enough to get interviews? Or would I need to do a masters program or post bac (considering the fact that I had a horrendous GPA for so long)? And also is it necessary to do a masters program or would a post bac be sufficient?
