Hello,
I am a junior at a 4 year university majoring in biology in northern New York with a GPA of 2.73 after 2.5 years due to depression and other issues. I know that this is terribly low and I realize it will be a severely uphill battle for me.
How will this translate into the admissions cycle?
If I get my gpa to around a 3.2 will a good MCAT help?
I was wondering if it would be worth it to transfer to UBC since they have a better biology faculty, more opportunity for me to take classes, better research, and I get to spend an extra year there to boost my grades. Theoretically, I could boost it to a 3.4+, is this worth it?
I want to go to med school more than anything and I really would like some input as to what else I can do. I spent a summer in India volunteering at a cancer hospital, I spent another summer doing research in microbiology, please help me enhance my application?
Anything I can do in my year off after I apply?
