I applied late last summer (end of junior year) in September 2017 only in MDs before getting my Mcat results. I had a 3.0 cum gpa and ended up getting a 484 on my Mcat because i rushed and did not have time to study enough.I did not now much about the processes at the time but at the same time i didn't want to miss my chances by not trying at all. My Ecs are good and the LORs as well just the Mcat and gpa was very low.
I will graduate in a month and i am expecting my gpa to increase since i got mostly A this last year, any suggestions on where i can calculate my cum gpa would be appreciated. I have two transcripts from two different institutions and the AAMC does not give me the link to calculate my cum gpa unless i apply, but i want to see where i stand before i apply just in case if i need to take any post-bacc courses to increase by gpa.
Was thinking if i retry to retake the Mcat this summer maybe in July and start studying after May 15 when i finish my finals and have some time to prepare going through Kaplan courses intensively for about 2 months. If i do that i would still end up applying late because my Mcat result would come out in August. Not sure if applying late will affect my application by much?
The other option is to wait and go through Kaplan for a longer time and take my Mcat in January 2019 and apply early next cycle?
