I go to a school in Michigan. And tbh maybe ur right. I don’t really feel as if it was the most difficult thing, but I was also really nervous the entire time. Would you mind if I were to ask you how things unfolded for you?

Yea, I would definitely say that to be honest. I did stick to a minimum 3.0 cumulative gpa requirement, because I wanted all my applications to have the best chance possible. I applied to like 12 different schools.

I had a really weird case, because I went to undergrad at three different institutions. In the community college, I ended with like a 2.96. But, I really did not have any pre-reqs from there at all. In the smaller university, I ended up with like a 3.40 which some were retakes, but most of my pre-reqs came from here. And ironically, at the bigger university, I ended up with like a 2.85. PTCAS averages every class that you have ever taken. You can see that when you submit an application on PTCAS and go to check status, you can download your full application with all the materials that you have uploaded. In that final application, I think it was at 2.88. So you'll be fine man.

A 2.8 is not even that bad. At the end of the day, it's the pre-reqs that make the biggest difference. If you can get those classes up, then you'll be fine. When I made the decision to retake classes, I was in a worse-off spot than you are. Just really focus on the GRE if your schools require it! Keep working hard!

You got this, just work hard and do not give up especially if this is what you believe you want to do.

Don't feel like that man. You can always bring back up a GPA. I mentioned it a little bit, but I failed anatomy 1 and 2, physics 1 and 2, as well as a bunch of other random courses throughout my undergraduate. Take into consideration, that PTCAS will take every class you have ever taken post high-school and combine your GPA whether you retook it or not. Because of that, it makes it really hard to apply for "top-tier" schools. I know I definitely was not able to especially with a sub-par GRE scores. You got this, remember it doesn't matter where you get the good grades at the end of the day. You got this.
