So I found out today that AAMC calculates GPA a bit different than my university does (a B+ at my uni is 3.5 but AAMC sees it as a 3.3). I only have a couple of these but since it changes my SGPA/GPA a bit I wanted to get an idea of my chances.
My SPGA is 3.57 and my cumulative GPA is 3.8. I haven't taken either orgo yet or biochem, but I'm taking both orgos with labs this summer. I'm a computer science major, so I've had to take some upper level math courses that haven't done my SGPA any favors (B+ in Calc II, Vector Calc and discrete structures).
I know it's a bit ridiculous to ask about chances this early but I need someone to tell me I'm on the right track. I was volunteering at the hospital by my school once a week until classes got shut down due to the virus. I had also been working as a research assistant in a lab for a week before we got shut down. I'm working at a local foodbank once a week or so since I've had to come home from school and plan to continue all summer. I have ~50 hours of shadowing an ortho surgeon.
