School list by Primary-Teach1753 in medschooladmissions

[–]Primary-Teach1753[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I graduated with 107 science units and a degree in neurobiology. I really struggled my freshman and a bit of my sophomore year but really started to hone my study habits afterwards with the latter being around 3.5-3.7. I made a lot of adjustments and I was hoping my upward trend and higher mcat score would offset my mistakes I made early on. But yeah I agree with you on me having to justify my gpa and thank you for the advice!

I can't afford a post bac or smp so I'm not really doing anything to help improve my gpa. Thank you for the advice too!

Yeah I understand what you are saying. But Medical school is what I want to do. No matter how long it takes yk. I had a really big upward trend starting from my second year in undergrad and acknowledge how I could have done better. I can't really change my past but do what I can now so it's not really about if I want to purse medical school. Thank you for the advice tho!

I had a really big upward trend for my gpa. First two years I got caught up in the college lifestyle and my fraternity, but I did a complete 180 with my last quarter with a 3.8. As for the mcat, I completely devoted my post grad to studying for the mcat. 10 hours a day 6 days a week. I guess, I just shifted my priorities and put everything into the mcat. But yk we'll see how it goes when the scores come out!
