<p>Calling anyone with knowledge of medschool application process</p>

<p>So I'll start off by saying I'm not your typical applicant. When I was 18 went to UF where I did poorly for 2 years (2.8gpa with 2 medical withdrawals). </p>

<p>I came back to USF, close to where I grew up and started a biomed major from scratch (chem1,bio1,calc1 ect...). I'm now proud to say I'll be graduating with a 3.8 gpa, 3.7 science gpa and a 34MCAT (all in 3 years!). Volunteered 2 years at Tampa General, a year mircrobio research, shadowing, service trip to Haiti and more. I understand this to be competitive. But what I cannot find anywhere online is how a medschool (DO or MD) will look at my past. Those 2 years at UF were rough and I am a completely different person/student now.</p>

<p>Can anyone give me some EDUCATED advice? I'd love to hear from someone with experience.</p>

<p>Does USF not have a premed advisor you can work with?</p>
