Okay,
So here's the deal. I am a senior in college. I have an awful GPA (~2.6), which should go up to a 2.7 by the end of this semester, and hopefully, assuming next semester goes well, a 2.8 after graduation. My upper level GPA is around a 3.0. My science GPA is around a 3.1. I am studying a biological science. I got a 506 on my MCAT, and have volunteering, research, employment, and an internship under my belt. My GPA is low because of a bad year when I was ill. I feel that I would not be a strong applicant to medical schools with my GPA and so now I'm looking at special masters programs. Would any of these programs be worth it to help me offset a bad undergraduate GPA? Should I try to pursue a regular masters in a biological science? I'm just really lost right now and my adviser isn't really helping..
Thanks.
