I graduated from the Univeristy of Florida in August of 2015 with a BS in Nutrional Sciences. Between then and now I have been retaking a few courses to boost my GPA because my goal was to go to a DO school because I had a horrible GPA (when I graduated it was sGPA 3.0 cGPA 2.9). I am starting to not like the idea of going to a DO school due to the fact that so many doors close as a DO student because of the natural bias towards MDs. Now I want to go to an MD and am trying to find ways to correct my mistakes as a undergrad. I have been looking at Master's programs and I have come across a non-thesis masters of medical science at UF.
Would this be a good route to take to get into an MD program? The program is fairly new but it is essentially lots of microbiology courses. The idea is to really focus and get a high graduate GPA but I am not sure if with an undergrad GPA like mine if it's even worth it? Do schools combine the two or are they considered separate GPAs?
Thanks for the advice!
