Hey guys, I have a really sucky gpa of 2.9 and got 40 on my MCAT. Do you know how my chances are? Do you know of anyone was in a similar situation and got admission? Any other opinions? Thanks.

I object! (Going into lawyer mode here). . . What do grades have to do with acing the boards? If it's true that a 2.9 can't ace the boards then those students who are passing medical school with a "P" instead of a "HP" might fail?!
AHHHHHHHHHH. I think not.
I agree with the rest of the post though.
yeah its good

I don't see why any school would not take him/her with a 40 MCAT. A 40 on the MCAT is like ....man!I believe this score covers any if not all of the discrepencies which are in the GPA. I said, go ahead apply to as many school as you can. I should definitely get into a few ones.
My 40+ certainly didn't cover for my deficiencies in other areas last year.... I'd suggest the OP to apply if he's not financially strapped, but it'd be better to wait a year and prove that he's gotten over whatever that caused the low GPA(unless he already has a good explanation for it).
