hello,
i just finished a year of postbacc work at sfsu. i did my undergrad at uc berkeley (or CAL) in chemical biology and graduated in 2006 may with a bcpm of 2.4
taking all these chem classes and not doing well have really hurt my gpa obviously, so now i'm trying to rehabilitate my gpa by taking upper div bio classes at sfsu. however, i cranked out my bcpm gpa (using an amcas gpa calculator for excel) for this year and it's only 2.7 after taking 17units worth of courses (my postbacc gpa so far is 3.98..got an A- in genetics..grrr) i'm going to stick it out for one more year and assuming that i get all A's my bcpm gpa will only be 2.93 (by next year, i'll have taken 37units worth of post bacc classes. when i realized this, i was pretty sad...almost wanted to cry cuz i know that i need at least a 3.0 to have my application even looked at. i'm studying for mcats right now, but if i'm not gonna even have a chance, i see no point in continuing with medical school. is there any hope? please be honest. thank you...
