Hello everyone,
I am wondering what my chances are when it comes to getting accepted into med school. I am at a huge disadvantage. My GPA hovers around 2.8 to 3.0. I was irresponsible and not very serious back then. This is my first year back in college, and I am 25 right now. My GPA may be low and I may be a bit older than the average applicant, but I feel I have a bit to contribute later on, because I have clinical experience. I've been an RN for almost two years now, and I have a bit of critical care under my background. Right now I am a Biology major taking Chem and Calc. I have a long ways to go, which in a way, is good, because I have many chances to improve my GPA. I go to school during the week and I spend at least 6 hours a day, five days a week studying. I work the night shift Friday and Saturday at a local hospital, med surg. I am hard working, persistent, and consistent! I also hope to compete in Vineman (Ironman competition) next year. Please, I am not interested in anything less than Medical School.
Thanks,
Mick
