OK so i started school kinda rough... zoology major, i was down to like a 2.0.. then i took a semester off. changed schools and changed my major to neurosci @ UTD... I will be completing a total of 78 hrs by the end of this fall and i still have a 4.0 and hopefully i will have that at the end of the semester. I havent taken the MCAT yet, but what kind of score do i need to get to apply next year. and 78 hrs brings me to like 2.899 and i can squeez in an extra 18hrs next semester. I started studying for the MCAT and i hope to take it in january.. I really hope i get in next year, i am graduating soon and i really dont have any more classes to take. In fact i had to double major just to get that many hours. and i will be graduating with almost 200 hours. I believe neuroscience/biology is a competitive enough major.
 
if u want to apply to DO schools, retake the classes u failed/or got Ds/Cs in...if u get a higher grade the next time around AACOMAS takes the newer grade and will replace with the older one, this is the FASTEST way to boost your GPA...Good luck
