<p>OP: GPA is just one part of a med school admissions packet. A more important aspect is undergraduate research (and the reputation of that Professor who writes your letter of rec) and the absolutely most important is your MCAT score.</p>
<p>When you look at colleges, you need to evaluate that college’s likely effect upon you in all three components in order: MCAT, Research, GPA.</p>
<p>My gut tells me that if you are not competitive for a 3.7+ GPA (especially in math/science classes) at U of Miami, you wouldn’t be competitive for med school admissions with your MCAT score or quality of research either.</p>
