Hi! I graduated (Johns Hopkins) with a cGPA of 3.42 after only taking 2 premed classes. I had an upward trend, my last 3 semesters being 3.87, 3.93, and 4.0. I ended up doing a formal postbacc (USC) of 30 credits (Bio, O Chem 2 semesters, Gen chem 1 semester, Physics 2 semesters, Biochem 1 semester, Microbiology 1 quarter). I finished my post bacc with a 4.0. If I combine my cGPA from bacc and post bacc I have a 3.56, and sGPA 3.69. My MCAT score was a 521.
My advisor told me that the GPAs aren't combined. Does anyone know if one GPA is considered more strongly than the other? I'm really struggling with figuring out what my target schools are.
My extracurriculars include 2 years of Varsity sports in college, 1 year of clinical experience (paid full time), 1 semester of clinical research, 400+ hours of community service (plus 200 hours of scribing in a free clinic as a volunteer), and I will be a full time clinical research assistant for this year.
