I posted this in the "post bacc/nontrad" thread as well but felt I might be able to get some useful answers from pre-med also.
I have a somewhat unique situation-
In high school I was placed in an accelerated program where you could earn college credits and high school credits at the same time by attending a community college. The problem was that, at the time, I was not mature enough for the freedom that college offered. As a results, I have 3 pretty ugly community college transcripts (GPAs of 2.7, 3.2 and 2.63).
I transferred to a private school where I was on the Dean's Honor list for 5 consecutive semesters. My University did not take the GPA's from the community colleges. Instead they just transferred the credit. I graduated with a B.S in Accounting, Magna Cum Laude with a 3.77 GPA. So basically the 3.77 is just the GPA for my last 2.5 years of college. However I definitely have a strong upwards trend.
I want to make a career change and I am strongly considering a post-bacc program. I have little to no science pre-reqs, and I am concerned about my subpar GPA for getting into a post-bacc program and also for getting into med school. If I do a career-changer post-bacc and do really well, will that help my undergrad GPA?
Any and all suggestions/comments are appreciated!
