Hi,
Would greatly appreciate some feedback. I graduated from a top-10 undergrad with a 3.45 cummulative GPA (but with thesis honors). I was premed for 3 semesters but had a hard time with it and dropped it. Basically I lost a lot of motivation when I got to college, became depressed, and I think I really underperformed. Looking back I am so disappointed in how I did – I honestly don’t know what happened.
I dropped premed because I was too depressed and unmotivated to go on with it, and was always more sure of myself academically in non-science classes (I have basically straight A’s in the non-science and non-math classes I took). Howeer, 3 years after dropping premed, I really think I want to be a doctor. I am working in a medical setting now as a research assistant and have been exposed to clinical research and inpatient and outpatient settings and I really like it.
These are my grades in my science courses as an undergrad:
Gen Chem 1 B
Gen Chem 2 B+
Orgo 1 B
Intro Bio B+
Cell Bio D+ (ughhhh)
Calc C+
Statistics B
Basically, do I have a shot? Should I try to pick up where I left off and finish off the premed requirements I have left (2nd semester Orgo, 2 semesters of Physics, retake Cell Bio) or should I try to get into a PostBac program and start over again? Would a postbac accept someone who has done half the classes already but gotten poor grades?
Any feedback you can offer on my chances would be much appreciated.
Thank you!!
