Hi I am going to start my junior year undergrad in the fall, here are my stats so far:
gpa: 3.0
MCAT: 34
My gpa is really low in part because I go to a very competitive school (UPenn) but my MCAT score is pretty decent. I am a Bio major and I also have 3 scientific publications, 2.5 years of research lab experience, going to start hospital volunteering in the fall, and many other social activities on my resume. I plan on raising my GPA significantly but my question to you guys is even if I raise my gpa to like a 3.3 or so, will I still have a decent chance at getting into a medical school, even with a couple C+’s that have tainted my record? what about a DO program as opposed to a MD program? Thank You.
