I just finished my undergrad degree, and because of unforeseen circumstances I have a lower GPA (3.16) and a different degree than I wanted (General Studies). My junior year I had one surgery in the fall during finals week and a second the following summer, after a doctor made a medical error during a procedure and then lied about it. I was in the hospital for 8 days after I had to be taken home 3 weeks before finals. I have taken the required Pre-Med courses and I am moving to Arkansas hoping to get in to UAMS as a resident. If I do well on my MCAT, do you think admissions will be able to overlook my GPA? Also, if I get back my MCAT score and I’m not happy, the next MCAT date I will be able to register for is August 5th–is that too late?
