gpa advice

Hey everyone, I don't post often so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm a junior, pre-med at a Top 20 university (if that makes any difference). I took Chemistry my freshman year at an accelerated level and got destroyed in Chem 2 with a C-. I understand that means I'll have to...

(current junior) Unfortunately most of my math science courses were during my first 1.5 years of college when I had a parathyroid tumor which affected my ability to study, exhausted all the time, felt bad, etc. Once i had the tumor removed, I felt great and I'm doing better in my courses. So I...

Hi everyone, I am applying to MD programs for the 2018 application cycle. I have received some rejections but no interview invitations as of yet. While waiting to hear back, I am considering completing postbac programs to strengthen my application. Do you think this is something to consider with...

Tried finding more information on this by searching past posts but nothing similar. Currently doing a Post-bacc at state Uni. Taking 4 classes and one lab. One of the classes I’m risking getting a B (at a 88 right now) but I need a 100 on the next test so most likely will end up getting a...

I have been going through many many forums and taking advice from those who have been in similar situations as myself. One piece of advice that I am learning is very very true in pre med is how a professor can really make or break your chance of success. My situation is this: I have taken 3...

So freshmen year, my gpa was dog-****(3.0). However, the last 45 hours, my gpa is a 3.85. The cumulative being still weak af sitting at a 3.42. Yes, I am aware that up-ward trends may be noticed and taken into consideration, but my question is to what extent? Would a 3.6 that was brought up from...

This is my third time applying to DPT programs.. My undergrad GPA was 3.0, but I have since retaken any prerequisite courses that were below a B-. My Prereq GPA (only counting highest attempts) is now a 3.8. I have not calculated what my overall GPA is, but I fear that my Undergrad GPA is going...

Hey guys, So I will be applying to several OT programs in the next month or so. The dilemma I'm having is on whether or not to retake the GRE. I took it last week and didn't score as high as I expected. My questions is, should I just use my current scores and submit my applications early as I...

I am about to start my junior year with a cumulative GPA of 3.16 as a biology major. The maximum GPA I could finish with is just above a 3.5 and I am confident that I can pull it up to that with my academic plan. I let myself have too much fun in extracurriculars and going out on top of needing...

A 3.0 GPA seems low for med school admission, so if I were to work hard, how high could I raise it? If I add a minor (18 credit hours more) could it help my chances to raise my GPA? Also, I do volunteer at a free clinic, I'm in research studying Parkinson's, what else could I do to dramatically...

Hey guys I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to improve my application for this cycle. I am a non traditional student and had to take a few pre-reqs to be considered last year. I applied last year and got interviewed and waitlisted at tennessee and also waitlisted at UF...

When I started community college, I had family struggles which impacted my gpa. My parent aren't supportive and I was struggling from lack of resources to navigate college and poverty. My current gpa is 2.7 from community college and looking forward to transfer in Fall 2018 for undergraduate...

Hi SDN, This is my first post here, so sorry if this is the wrong forum. I am a recent graduate from a Top 40 university, currently taking a year off before I apply next cycle. I have taken all my pre-reqs, however I didn't do so well, since I graduated with a 3.29 cgpa and a 3.1 sgpa. My gpa...

Hey everyone. So I just graduated with a degree in Public Health, and when all is said and done I'll probably finish with around a 3.1 cumulative. I have a serious upward trend and was Dean's List for my last two years of college. I am already planning to take off at least 2 years to take all of...

Hello to anyone who reads this, as you can see from the title of this conversation I'm seeking advice about my current situation. It has always been my dream to become a doctor, this is one of the earliest memories I have from growing up. This is something I've always wanted and have always...

Hi everyone! I would like to receive your input on my pathway to MPH programs/ Admission. I graduated from a big ten school with a degree in geology/ environmental sciences with a low gpa (2.62). In my last year of undergrad, I was taking 18 credit hours of adv sciences for both semesters while...

Hey all! New member here, so I apologize ahead of time if I'm going about asking this incorrectly/in the wrong place. McGill is currently a dream school for me: perfect location, internationally renowned program, Francophone culture, etc... But as a U.S. citizen coming up on my junior year at a...

Ok guys so I'm either going to get laughed at or bashed because I graduated recently with a 2.47 gpa as a health science major. I have not taken organic chem 1 or 2, gen bio2 or biochem, yet. Got a D in biology 1 and got an F in the lab. I say this because I want to be a doctor badly. Used all...

Hi all, Do you think with my stats and trend I should do a post-bacc? Or focus on writing better secondaries and getting more clinical experience? I applied to a bunch of schools (around 24 MD, a couple DO) and didn't get a single interview- I was pretty crushed to say the least. It took me...

I'm slightly concerned about my chances of getting into a MD/PhD or DO/PhD program (or really any DO or MD program) with my stats from undergrad. I'm currently applying for the 2018 cycle. I'm also wondering if my upward trend in GPA over the last two years will help my lackluster cumulative...

Hi guys! I am a rising junior, and my overall gpa at my school is a 3.65. I am quite discouraged at my gpa, and not sure how to study anymore. I have received a fair share of B's and A's, thankfully no C's. My target gpa is a 3.82 at graduation. In order to do this, I need to keep a 4.0 for the...

I'm trying to decide what to do post-grad to fix my GPA (2.5 UGPA). The reason for such a drop was because of some family things going on throughout that have now resolved. I'm currently studying for the MCAT but haven't set a date yet to take it as I don't know whether it would benefit me to do...

Hi everyone, I am currently a senior in my university, with a psychology as my major and biology as minor. I started the journey to do medicine in my sophomore/junior year, but it seems every science class I take I do bad in. So for a while I am giving up, as I am approaching my 5th year...

Hi, I graduated two years ago with my BS. I have been taking additional classes with the aim of improving my overall GPA. In total, I've secured an additional 36 units post-undergrad with a GPA of 3.9. I was recently turned down for several post-bac programs. My application (outside of my...

Hello, I am a senior in high school. I just ended my dual credit (from CC) school year with a 3.5 GPA. I took 12 credits, 4 classes, and made 3 A's and 1 C (was out of town and missed a major grade assignment worth 30% of my grade). The college I intend on going to in the fall does not factor...

For a bit of background: As an undergrad I took two semesters each of General Chemistry and Biology, got a scattering of A's and B's, and while taking the first semester of Bio I also took Orgo I and got a C. After that I continued with Bio II but otherwise dropped the entire pre-med track...

Hello, I am currently finishing my freshman year as a pre-med and I have not performed as well as i had hoped. I am looking to finish with a 2.7 GPA, with a C- in chemistry and a D+ in calculus, which i am planning to retake. First semester i had a b- in chem 1 and a b- in bio 1. I was not...

Hi guys, So I will most likely be applying for Ontario dental schools (UofT & Western) next year but I have some concerns over my marks. The thing is, I hear that many graduate schools like seeing a gradual rise in the student's grade point average (GPA) as they progress through their...

Hi guys, I was just wondering how my GPA would look to med schools Basically, I started off as a nursing major and eventually switched at the end of my sophomore year. My freshman gpas were: 3.813/3.94 Sophomore: 3.25/4.0 Currently: 3.62 and potentially this semester I think around 3.4 Do...

I am in my last quarter of undergrad and my overall gpa is 3.4-3.5, science gpa is a 3.1 and my non science is about a 3.9. My grades have a weird trend because I do well in certain quarters and not so well in others. I applied to 8 schools last year but did not receive a single interview. I...

Hi, guys. I need some advice on my GPA in college and status as a premed. I'm currently a sophomore at Brandeis University. I'm majoring in Neuroscience and Biology with minor in Philosophy. To get right to the point, I have a 3.2 GPA right now which is very poor. I've been doing poorly in Gen...

I am studying Communication Disorders and going to be a senior. Right now I have a 3.40 GPA, this summer if I take 2 classes and make As, by the time I apply I will have a 3.50 GPA. I hear and read a lot of things that make me think I NEED a 3.5+ to even get into the schools I want (UT, UT...

So I graduated in December 2015 from a University of California with a B.S. in Exercise Biology. Admittedly, I didn't have much of a direction and perhaps wasn't as motivated in regards to academics as I should have been. I finished with a cumulative uGPA of 3.32 and I estimate my sGPA to be...

Hi, This is my first post so I hope I'm posting correctly. I want to gain acceptance to a DO school in the next 2-3 years. I'm a 21yo male currently attending UF. I am at the end of my junior year about to be a senior. I got my AA in high school and immediately started taking science...
