So I found myself stuck having to do post bacc work ( I am sad but I blame no one but myself). I wanted to hear from any Medical School students or those who got accepted that did post bacc programs, what was your strategy? What GPA did you having going into your post bacc verses what you got when we came out? What did you do to supplement that fact that you had to do post bacc work?
Now for me....my gpa is a 2.9 and I am waiting until next year to take the MCAT. I am spending this year entire year taking 12 credits a semester (spring of next yr and fall) and 6 hours in the summer. I spoke to the potential schools I'll be applying too and I was advised that this plan would be better for me. Also, that for fall semester of next yr, I would just submit my grades when they come out since by that time application deadlines would be just about over. I'll be sending in my overall app early though.
My trend in my gpa is a little wavy because I started off strong, I got weak in the middle and ended on a good note but because of my failures in my junior year, my gpa never fully recovered.
