Hey SDN,
I have a big decision to make this next week and I'm looking for any feedback possible. Here's my situation.
I started off slow in UG and graduated with a cGPA of 3.3 and BCPM of 3.0. I took the MCAT last year and got a 502. I have an upward trend of around 3.8 in my last 100 units. I also have a graduate GPA of 4.0 for 10 units. I am planning on retaking the MCAT in June and expecting a 505-510 on my second attempt. I'll be applying through AMCAS in July.
During this cycle (2017-2018), I have the option of doing a science based masters program or doing a post-bacc thats geared towards undergraduate GPA and BCPM (50 units). The post-bacc program offers a guaranteed interview and has a history of their med school accepting students from their program (70% last year).
It's been a very difficult path trying to repair a weak undergraduate GPA and I'd like some feedback on what I should do next. What is the better choice for me? Should I do something that's not mentioned here? Thanks for your advice!
