I'll bet you guys love seeing this sort of post over and over and over and over again. Here goes...I am a Senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology. I currently have a 3.2 overall and most likely a 3.0 science GPA. I'm hoping to get my GPA up to a 3.3 by the end of this year. I've received straight A\A- for the last year. Hopefully I can keep up this positive trend. My GPA was CRAP prior to my Junior year. A lot of Cs in classes like Ochem and Physics. I took the August MCAT and got a 10,10,10 and R on the writing sample. I'm currently doing a year of honors research with a fairly famous researcher and I've previously done research in a histology lab for three months. I just started volunteering in a local hospital this year. I plan to take the MCATs over again because I didn't really study for the August MCAT because I was working and taking summer school classes at the same time. What should I do at this point? I was going to take a year of undergraduate courses at a postbac program somewhere, but I don't want to spend an additional year taking classes and have nothing to show for it. Could I take a one year masters program instead or should I work on getting my undergrad GPA up? Let's say I get a 32-33 on the next MCAT. What are my chances of getting in with my current stats if I apply after this year?
