Hi There Everyone
I'm a sophmore in college. I did bad my first semester and now unfortunetly I will probably receive a 3.1 to 3.3 GPA by the time I graduate. My valid excuse of why I did bad was because of death in my family and new environment (being away from home for the first time) and my roommate who didn't study nor I couldn't switch roommates. I really believe that I'm destined to go into Medicine and I'm trying very hard for my undergraduate GPA to increase a little more by the end, towards Graduation in 2 years.
This is my plan:
Next year, I'm planning on going to Europe and volunteer at a private high school. With this in mind, it will help me become more focused, gain an experience, and etc. Also by volunteering at my job, I will also study for Physics and the MCAT.
After coming back from Europe, I will get back to college, take phsyics, take MCAT in August, see results, and apply to Medical schools for the next year.
If I don't get accepted that year, I want to enter a MPH program then apply again and hopefully get in.
This my sound good and all to me, but I'm really worried if I go ahead with this plan. I just don't know I medical schools will accept a student with a 3.1 to 3.3 GPA? Also I'm pretty sure by taking next year off, It will give an advantage to other Medical school applicants. Can you please give me some adivce on what I should do, I really appreciate it. Thanks a lot!!!
