Hi all,
Firstly, I appreciate whatever frank and honest opinions you all have and also I realize that I may be beyond hope but I have been thinking about giving med school a try so here I go.
Undergrad was a disaster, BA biology and global health minor CumGPA:2.6 & SciGPA:2.3. I have my fair share of excuses(Family, Money and Health Problems) but still...
Did well on the GRE managed to get into an MPH in Epidemiology program. Wrote a thesis, got published, worked on research. GPA: 3.5
Currently, am working internationally on infectious disease epi research and have multiple publications and international presentations. 2 Yrs experience.
No MCAT score yet...
So right now I am tinkering with the idea of taking the MCAT and doing some sort of Post-Bacc to make up for Undergrad and get some solid pre-med grades or go back to my life in Public Health.
Does this seem plausible? Any suggestions?
I also have a lot of volunteer hours in hospital and non medical settings in case that matters.
Thanks!
