How do medical schools look at your undergraduate GPA versus a premed postbac GPA? My GPA from undergrad is 3.92 (I graduated in 2009) but my GPA in my premed program right now is 3.63 and may get even lower soon because organic chemistry is killing me. Can I count on my undergrad GPA to boost me at all if my premed GPA is lower than the average that they accept? I am also working full-time while doing this program, so is that something that med school admissions would factor in when looking at my GPA?

THIS IS NOT MY OWN. Mine is far, far worse.

It is from the AMCAS guide itself.
