cGPA 3.0 or 3.1

Clinical experience: 4 years working as clinical pharmacist in the Emergency room


I have the time and energy to focus on MCAT. Question is, if I can get a decent score would I even have a realistic chance with such a paltry GPA?

28 y/o Missouri. PharmD in 2016, thinking about medicine since. 4 years working as clinical pharmacist in the Emergency room .

GPA was only 3.0 or 3.1...

I now have the time, energy, and savings to focus on the MCAT

Question is, if I can get a decent score would I even have a realistic chance with such a paltry GPA?

What is your sGPA ? Do you have any clinical volunteering hours or employment with patient contact or any physician shadowing hours ?

Science GPA should also be 3.0 or 3.1 I only got 1 or 2 Cs in college just didnt get many As. Needed a 3.0 to keep scholarship so I just got a B in everything.

No volunteering since college.
In my current job I work with physicians, counsel and reconcile meds with patients, on the code team, go to rounds etc. Havent shadowed but could definitely set up.
 
If your MCAT is over 510 you could receive interviews at your Missouri state public MD schools. If you only score 500 you could receive interviews at some of the newer DO schools. Post your actual score here in the future and I can suggest schools.
