<p>Hi, I'm currently a sophomore at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor doing Biomedical Engineering. I currently have a 3.31 cumulative and a 3.63 science. I will be able to get around a 3.48 overall and around a 3.67 science by the time I apply for medical school. My question is do medical schools consider your major when they look at your GPA? Michigan Engineering is notoriously hard as well, so do med schools consider "how hard" your school was as compared to someone who went to a very easy school and got a good GPA? And also what if there's a disparity in my science GPA >>> my overall? What're my chances. I'm really worried about getting into medical school. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Schools do consider these things a little bit, but it’s invariably less than such applicants are hoping for. At this point what you need to do is crush the MCAT. That solves a lot of problems. If you really do manage to push yourself to 3.4, then with a strong MCAT score you should be able to get into a medical school somewhere.</p>
<p>Thanks dude…I’m planning to take my MCATs at the end of this summer. I was hoping to take either TPR, Kaplan or ExamKrackers. Since I haven’t taken Physiology, I am leaning towards taking the TPR course in May and June and doing self-study in July and August. Then taking my MCATs somewhere in mid-August. I was wondering if you could give me suggestions on my “plan” and let me know whether it would be better to do TPR/Kaplan/Examkrackers?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
