hello, want to thank you in advanced for any suggestion to my app! i applied to 19 schools, and was rejected by all. no interviews. i just spoke with an admissions counselor at one med school, and i was nailed for my cumulative BCPM GPA. i want to raise this gpa, but don't know what the best way to do it is.
should i retake classes, or take more advanced courses in the subject? how would you guys go about improving my cumulative BCPM GPA? should i repeat BIOLOGY 1 and OCHEM 2?
i have a BS in bio and MS in biochem. Thanks!
here are some stats:
