Hi everyone, I’m a rising junior interested in Pre-med. I would like to apply to some bs/md programs as well as regular UG schools. My top UG schools are Johns Hopkins and UVA. As for bs/md programs…I’m not really sure. Can someone please let me know what my chances are for these UG schools, as well as give me some ideas of bs/md’s that I could get into based on my info?

I know my gpa is very low for the schools that I want to get into. I didn’t work as hard as I should’ve my Freshman and Sophomore years, and by the time I got to my Junior year (and realized into 1st quarter that I really needed to step it up) it was kind of too late to really change my cumulative gpa.
