Here's the rundown:
- 7 W's, 2 in my marketing undergrad degree: one to lessen the load during my parents' divorce and 1 because I dropped a double major. 5 in science classes - 2 from withdrawal of a semester due to a family death and 3 my last semester in college because of the financial implications for my parents of adding a second biological degree and pay tuition for an additional two years. I went back to earn this degree two years later after I worked a couple of years to solve the problem
I have a 3.51 cgpa (low gpa in my business degree) and a 3.81 sgpa (second degree two years later.) 37 MCAT, and I'm afraid it's not good enough for the application cycle because of the W's, as well as a C in gen chem, a class I took as my first science class, before the withdrawal semester I mentioned up there.
I hate to make excuses because 7 W's and that C look bad. But after taking a year off to get my 2nd degree, I've also grown. Will medical schools even give me the chance to explain myself?
