To all those that are present on this thread, along with the individuals that are passing through; understand this: no matter the pitfalls of life, or disappointments we shall face on the path to medicine, never let a closed door deter you from your goals. Just because a door closes, doesn't mean the house doesn't have windows that arent accessible. Hold firm, our time will come - same applys to our personal life.
During undergraud, I considered College to be my least priority, I graduated with a cgpa 2.7 (2014) and became a respiratory therapist (still am), finally got it to a cgpa 3.07 (2019 postbacc). gpa are worst then credit score. Took the MCAT got a 511 (2019). Applied to DPMS and Georgetown SMP (Accepted). I will be applying this cycle through AMCAS, regardless of what anyone says - in the words of Jordan - you miss 100% of every shot you dont take. Good luck everyone.
To all those that got accepted - Congratulations, go in there and kick A**, take no prisoners, this is such a great opportunity. For those that still need to take the mcat or retake, what helped me jump from a constant 501. to a 511 (which isnt all that great I kno) was to start to do Qbanks from UWORLD (not affiliated in anyway, i should deff buy some stock because they are amazing). Start doing questions early on, remember your going to learn the materials and test taking skills just by doing questions. Also getting questions wrong causes you to investigate. Dont go to heavy with those KAPALN and Pricneton books, they are way too dense, you can know everything in the world, but if you cant improve testing taking skills then it kinda sucks.
