So, as I was reading these posts I noticed that everyone has relatively competative scores.I am not that great candidate by the paper and I was wondering if anyone knows if there are people who get in with lower grades.
I am majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and my GPA is only 3.3. I am doing biomedical research, and working in a hospital at the same time. Throughout my education I kept part time job (30 hrs/week) and I volunteered for 9 months (4 hours a week)
The problem beside the GPA is that I have taken basic science at cc. I started cc because I had to take ESL classes first and I did not have any money to go to the university right away. I am kind of hoping that admissions would recognize the fact that I was working hard and that I was able to learn English and manage to obtain bachelors in 5 years, work, volunteer and take full load of classes each semester including summers. I mean I worked really hard and I really want to get into the med school. Will that matter to them at all..... or... will they just look at the numbers? I have a feeling that my chances are very slim......
I am taking MCAT in April and I am hoping to do good..... 🙂
Thanks
