Hello everyone,
I am currently 24 and practicing as an RN in a ED and I am wanting to go to med school hopefully. I will give you all the details:
I was originally pre-med but in the second semester of my freshman year at a CC I had a semester of W's due to family circumstances at the time. Overall freshman GPA from a summer semester and a fall semester 3.13. I then transferred to a 4-year and had to essentially restart as a freshman due to them being OOS and not accepting many of my prereqs, this time I took a fall semesters worth of courses then took another 4 W's the following spring due to 2 family deaths back to back within a month... I then came back for the Fall of what should have been my sophomore year and took 3 F's and 1 B in a class that ended as a half-term. The F's were due to losing who I thought was supposed to be my forever right before midterms and I just didn't complete any more assignments. adding those two semesters as my "freshman" year that GPA was 2.1. I then decided to get my act together and got a 3.6 the following spring and decided I should go into nursing school as no med school would accept me with 8 W's and 3 F's with 2 of the F's being in gen chem and a&P.
So my "Sophmore year" I retook gen chem and got a B, retook Anatomy I- A, took Anatomy 2-A and Micro- A-. Sophomore GPA- 3.7. I also took English and other pre-reqs during this time.
I got accepted into nursing school and my junior year/first year of nursing school I had a 4.0, followed by a 3.95 my senior year due to an A- in pysch.
In short my cgpa isn't terrible and feel it shows an upward trend, but my sgpa is terrible mainly due to only taking 7 classes that could toward this gpa and failing 2 of them. I am unsure if I could even get into med school because with my calculations even if I took ~40 hours of post-bac with the required classes and got all A's I would still only have a 3.2 sgpa. I was hoping to get some advice from anyone because I am willing to take any. Being a physician was something I always wanted to do, even when I was younger. But my nursing faculty and I convinced myself that I could never make it and I applied to NP school and was accepted. I have shadowed roughly 75 hours through FM and EM. I have tons of volunteer experience at soup kitchens, mental health walks/activities and I coached basketball for young kids.
Science classes are below
Gen Bio- C+
Gen Chem- F, then a B on retake in an 8-week summer course
A&P I- F, then A on retake
A&P II- A
Micro- A-
Thank you all
