Hi everyone,
So, I'm kind of an idiot and I screwed up my first two years of university (3.35 and 3.21 GPA respectively). I've been pulling up my GPA steadily over the past year and a half though, and I received a 3.92 last year, and 3.96 last semester. Would it be worth it for me to do a masters to hopefully boost my GPA up, or do I have a chance at med schools without it? I'm a BC resident, studying at Queen's university. I feel like my ECs aren't really that amazing (some research experience, no pubs for two summers, volunteer/mentor at the hospital for 2 years, volunteer first aid provider for 4, executive of two municipal service committees for 2 years, big buddy to two children for 3 years, lots of retail work experience, and academic grievance officer for 1 year), so I'm a little lost as to what to do. I received a 511 on the MCAT (128/127/128/128) from self-studying last summer, and I'll be retaking it again this year with a class to boost up my CARs mostly.
Do I have a chance at medicine, or should I do a masters before I apply for it?
