**** This is an old username from about 10 years ago when I was in college so please excuse the dental reference. I do not want to be a dentist.
So I'll try and keep this short. I'm a PA that wants to apply to medical school. My undergrad GPA is 3.2 (I know that's low) and my MCAT is in the percentile range of a 35-36. The reason for this difference is immaturity from undergrad 10 years ago and I think being a PA gave me a strong background in biology and biochemistry. Anyway, I can possibly raise my GPA to a 3.4 with postbacc work if I wait another year. Should I wait another year or apply with my current credentials? BTW my graduate school GPA is 3.5 but reading the threads I don't think that counts for much. I've never applied before also.
