- Graduated from undergrad summer 2021 with a psyc degree, cGPA was 2.84 with upward trend and sGPA between 2-2.3 depending on how you grade it. (first 2 years were a train wreck)
- Spent the following year using my EMT license to work as a vaccinator and then was promoted to site lead in a hospital Covid clinic. This was March 2021 - May 2022
-Started DIY postbac in September 2022 and am looking to finish 30-32 credits of upper level science by the end of Summer 2023 (total 3 semesters including summer) with all As and A-s.
Should I continue doing this DIY postbac next year and make it 5 semesters which would probably bring me past 50 credits, or is it not worth it/beating a dead horse. I know I would need at least 50-60 credits of As in science credits to get my sGPA past a 3.0 and I don't know if it's worth it/ the most effective strategy. I'm considering instead to apply to a few SMPs with linkages that start next fall instead, as maybe it would provide better evidence that I'm a capable student and put me on the map.
I have my sites set on DO at this point primarily
Haven't taken MCAT but I'll most likely do it this summer while I do 2-3 summer courses.
