I'd probably apply, especially if you have research in your background. It's an uphill battle but acing a post-bacc and having a top percentile MCAT are the kinds of things that help a low GPA a lot.I'm a non-traditional student and considering applying to Johns Hopkins, but based on the MSAR I feel like my stats are not good enough (3.4 GPA, 522 MCAT - 4.0 GPA in post-bac). Do you know of anyone who has gotten in with a less than stellar GPA if it had a significant upward trajectory? Should I still consider?
"List below your extracurricular activities, hobbies, interests and travel following entrance to college..."Quick question regarding inputting experiences and activities. If we have research experience(s), where would these best fit? If they were unpaid, they shouldn't go in employment. They don't seem to fit in the hobbies/interests sections, but they also aren't community service (I suppose if you're not getting paid, they're volunteering, but I got the impression that section was for things you did to better the community). Where did you all put research?
I put paid research under Employment and research-for-credits under this section, only place that made sense as a non-service extracurricular activity.
