<p>Hello All! I'm a rising senior in college and I have an issue. I want the truth so be as hard on me as you can </p>
<p>I took pre-medical classes Freshman year and Sophomore year. The grades are listed below:
-General Chemistry I: C
-General Chemistry II: C+
-Calculus I: C
-Organic Chemistry I: C
-Bio Lab: A
-Organic Chemistry Lab: B+
Statistics: B
Non-Calculus: B</p>
<p>After realizing that I wasn't doing well in these science classes, I stopped taking science classes with the hopes that I would be able to do a post-bac and repeat all the science classes I've taken as well as do Organic Chem II, Calculus II, Biology I and II and Physics I and II. When I put those grades on the amcas sheet, my science GPA was a 2.45 for 28 credits. My question is: do I still have a chance of getting into medical school even though I stopped taking science classes and have a low science gpa. What should I do? Any advice is highly appreciated. What is the best method for me. I will graduate with at least a 3.4 cumulative gpa.</p>
<p>Application to med school looks at 2 GPA’s overall and science - any GPA below a 3.7/3.6 diminishes chances of entry to any US Allopathic school. You can try carribbean ones or DO med schools; your MCAT needs to be respectable and you have not mentioned of that. If you are a rising senior intending to go to med school you should be appearing for MCAT very soon.
also Med school is science oriented and the difficulty level is far higher than UG SC courses although they have only PASS/FAIL criteria and C equivalent is PASS. I have known premeds who have opted out to pursue a less pressurized life as a Phy Asst where the pay is high (close to low 6 figures) …</p>
<p>That being said you may get better advise for your case in SDN as pointed out by earlier post.</p>
<p>You probably had all your questions answered by your pre-med advisor, nobody here will know more than that. I am sorry, but this is my honest opinion, you want honesty, correct?</p>
