Hey guys, I was wondering how feasible it is for an individual with a 3.6 (strong upward trend) and a 36 mcat to have a realistic shot at this program and those of similiar caliber. I have low grades during the first 2 yrs (3 C+s and 1 C retaken for an A-), but worked hard enough to secure that 3.6 gpa. Is my gpa just too low for these programs?
Additionally, I was reading into their admissions criteria and they stated that they strongly encourage disadvantaged/minority students to apply. As I will be applying disadvantaged, will this factor play a strong role in increasing my chances in securing admission to this university? Furthermore, what does an individual need to increase his chances at MD/PHD programs? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
