Hello everyone!
I know you have probably read many of these posts so i'll try to keep it specific to see if I can get any helpful advice. I have graduated a decent university in Canada with an overall 3.2 cGPA and my first two years were quite poor and affected my cGPA badly. However, I obtained a 3.7 GPA in my final year and am hoping that this shows promise for overall improvement as the years go on. I did well on my MCATs and received a 522 on my total score which I know is quite high. I have volunteered at the same place for two years (in a hospital setting) and received a research award last year for undergraduate science research. I have two pretty decent references with professors that I know well and hope to use them for my references for applying. I am worried about my low GPA especially for Canadian schools and was wondering if there was any advice as to how to improve my application? I would really like to stay in Canada for school but would be open to other schools if I have absolutely no chance for med school in my home country.
Thanks guys!!
