Hello SDNers,
I will graduate this may with a 3.38 sGPA and I am really worried at this point. I was thinking of doing a post-bacc record enhancer program to boost up the science GPA to avoid getting auto-screened out when time comes to apply (next year). My cGPA is a 3.5 which also doesn't give me much hope. How likely is it that my application will be auto rejected without a human looking at it? With admissions climbing to steep competitive levels I don't know if I will be in good shape for DO let alone MD.
If I won't be auto-screened is a masters worth it to make myself more competitive? I did poorly my first 2 years of undergrad but since then have become a much better test-taker and learner. I am confident I can do pretty well on the MCAT but the gpa is really worrying me. any input?
