Neone get into med school w/ LOW gpa, NO master's/postbac/SMP

[dweji16]

By LOW i mean sub 3.1~3.2 or lower

I know that most people make up low GPA by doing a postbacc or getting a master's, but was wondering if there was anyone who got in without any graduate work...


And if so, what do you think it was that got you accepted? High MCAT, great EC, amazing LOR, PS... etc... what part stood out?

Looks like having an MCAT score in the 40's will help tremendously....
