Please only reply if you have informed opinions/knowledge about this. I don't need advice from a junior in undergrad regarding this stuff.
I went to a Big Ten school, graduated late 90s with around a 3.3 in an unrelated field. Went back to a top postbacc program and it looks like I'm going to finish with a 4.0. I don't have any really wonderful extracurriculars, except for the standard volunteer in ER kind of stuff since returning to school. Got in a little lab work over the summer, but no papers or anything. I have heard that my undergrad grades will essentially be disregarded. Anyone know about this? Anyone have ideas about where I can get in with a 33+ on the mcat? (taking it this april). Anyone have ideas on how to strengthen my app during my lag (app) year? I plan on taking 1-2 more classes, but what else?
