My D is a sophomore at prestigious school, majoring in Biochemistry and History. She is taking upper level science classes. Her cGPA is 3.55 and sGPA is 3.2. She has got almost 50 hrs of AP credits. As a freshman she started with Orgo, calculus etc. It was a bad idea and her GPA took a hit. But That allowed her to double major. She has some shadowing, observing experience, some volunteering experience. She is a senator in Student association for 2 years. she is a dancer and performed in school performances, choreographed school musicals for two semesters. Her group project she worked on in a global health class is accepted for presentation at upcoming Clinton global initiative meeting. She is applying for funding to take that project to a next level. She did not take MCAT, but is hoping to get score of 35 or more.
I am concerned about her GPA. she has two more semesters to rise it. But all her science classes will be upper level classes that are hard. She is planning on studying abroad in fall this year and take 3 history courses there and do some shadowing and observations in Hospitals. Is it advisable to do that or stay back in her school and take science courses. What are her chances in getting into medical school. Thanks
