I have a low GPA and a lot of credit hours. It would take roughly 300 semester hours of 4.0 to get me to a 3.5 AMCAS cGPA. My upward trend, however, is steep. My academic performance over the last 4 years is quite strong. Whether this counts as GPA redemption remains to be seen. Because of the number of hours behind my low GPA, it is unlikely that I will be financially capable of pulling the average up by taking coursework alone.
Presently, I am not in school. I work in a major academic hospital doing clinical translational research. I shadow on the weekends - actually about to go observe an orthotopic liver transplant. My CV, as far as research is concerned, is quickly becoming impressive.
Here's the question: does it help? What else should I do, or what should I do instead?
I could potentially take a single class each semester at a nearby medical/graduate school and have it reimbursed by the hospital. Would this be helpful, or is it insignificant?
