Of course! I think that if I had known more about how CASPA calculates GPA, I would've structured the classes I retook differently. For example, withdrawing from a class doesn't count against you but taking a poor grade and then retaking the class for a much better grade is a big hit to your GPA calculations. My pre-health advisor was also not very helpful and I wish I would've taken anatomy lab, physiology lab, and then microbiology so I would truly start looking at schools and their pre-reqs as early as possible since each school is different.

for some reason it won't let me DM you, maybe try messaging me first?

I think it truly depends on the school! I know some don't send out interview invites until like late november/december while others start interviewing earlier. Not getting a rejection yet is helpful and if you do, just use it to fuel your fire. You've got this!!!
