Hi,
I am currently a senior doing a nutritional sciences degree and was wondering if you guys could give me some opinions or advice.
URM: Hispanic (Latino)
Current Overall GPA: 2.98
(From 3 colleges combined)
Science GPA: 2.62
Science Courses Taken
Chem 1( First time=C, Second Time= B)
Chem 2 (B-)
Ochem 1 (C- first time, C+ second time)
Ochem 2 (C)
Bio 1 (C- first time, had to retake because it didn't transfer so second time was a B-)
Bio 2 (B-)
Calculus (C-)
Still need to take physics.
Currently taking microbiology, genetics, biochemistry
ECs
Work Experience
Over 3000+ hours of CNA work at hospitals, still increasing hours
Volunteer:
RA in one of biggest studies which is a nation wide study: Currently volunteer 5 hrs a week
Future poster presentations in the works
Hospital Volunteer: 50 Hrs
Currently in undergrad program focused on maternal and child health, only 9 undergrad programs of its kind in US.
Going to volunteer in food pantry this year
Officer in 2 clubs at university
Shadow:
5 Hrs with Geriatric Specialist
Will still continue to shadow more.
I am doing an extra year, due to transferring freshmen year and my major.
My freshmen year was the worst with a 2.75, 2.5. My mom passed away that year and ever since it has been hard to deal with her passing.
I know I will still most likely have to try and go to a post-bac program or take classes on my own, if I would like to continue with med school.
I am hoping I can start Med school by 27, so I have some time, currently 21. So any opinions that you guys have, I would really appreciate it, my overall goal is med school, that is the big dream.
To add to that, since I am taking that extra year, I do have the opportunity to take more classes or retake the courses I did bad in, so should I try and take higher level classes, or what should I do. Thank you
