Hey all,
So my gpa is quite low (2.93 overall, 3.09 sgpa). This was mainly due to a really bad sophomore year in the chemistry program where I received many C's and D's. I have a strong upward trend form my sophomore year. Freshman - 2.92, 3.38 sci, Soph- 2.41, 2.45 sci, Junior - 3.46, 3.46 Sci (got 1 D in another chem course that is killing me, but in the past 2 semesters avg'ing a 3.8 or so). I have a 30Q on the mcat, 11PS, 10VR, 9BS. I'm a resident of Ohio, and I go to UWO in ontario, a fairly good school. I have been fairly involved in school clubs, as well as tutoring. I am also currently doing clinical research with a urogynecologist who is also a professor at a medical school who I plan on getting an LOR from. I only have A's and B's in all of my biological science courses(took MCAT before taking all of these). I'm not sure exactly what my chances are, I figure I can apply to state schools and send them updated transcripts throughout the process. I was also wondering whether early decision would be a good option for me or not. I was also wondering whether I should rewrite the MCAT, I'm fairly sure I can do better on PS and BS, but somewhat worried about VR score dropping. I figure I could also send these in once I get my scores back because applying early seems to be very important. Any help/advice would be great.
Thanks!
