Comment from : Debby Owens

I have a question, I want to pursue medicine, however my highschool gpa was a 19, depression due to losing my dad, I'm better now and I bought text books been studying but I'm seeing everywhere you need a 2-3gpa, does anyone know what I should do to get started towards acceptence? If it takes me 20 years I don't care I'm ready if I gotta start from square one that's okay I planned out 40hrs a week I can study while working full time

Is the post baccalaureate GPA judged separately from your original undergraduate GPA?
Comment from : Deez_nutz1981

Hahaha, that is why I have not done any of my classes yet
Comment from : Redd Bendd

Do you have to do post bacc or can you just take non-degree seeking courses to present to medical schools?

Does medical school care about high school gpa?

“Don’t do basic cancer science research” but I actually enjoyed it ;-;
Comment from : Morkymoose

for the 37 for undergrad for MD schools, is that science or overall?
Comment from : The Phoenix

There is some really solid advice in this video - Thank you Med School Insiders As someone who had to repeat a bunch of courses to get my GPA above 35, I can agree with everything here Try your best to have your transcript be full of As and Bs, and few if any Cs For anyone wanting to get into Med School in the USA, having at least Cum Laude status (35 and higher) will better your chances of acceptance - if you fall below that GPA bracket, you need to be sure to get a high MCAT score The additional programs mentioned in the video like SMP will help too Good luck future doctors!

Im currently playing college football at a D1 school & I have to flood my last two semesters with credits to boost my gpa up to at least a 34-35 Do you think I should drop football so that I can focus on my last semester?
Comment from : Lewis Shepherd

I had a 306 overall undergrad, worked for 7months for an international cooperation under a health project about to ace my MCAT, while currently attending a med school in my country Sierra Leone But my dream is to study medicine in North America University of Toronto specifically, they require a 36 GPA, brWhat is your advice, feel free please

My cGPA is 339, my science GPA is 37 brShould I do a post-bacc/SMP?
Comment from : AC Medina

I got an A in Organic Chemistry II but I’m a chemistry major and was bored in Community College my first couple years and slacked off because I tried too hard in high school with 43 GPA and experienced burnout in college I got accepted to better schools but I couldn’t afford it even with financial aid In addition I had to pay for my living and college myself for 5 years working 20-30 hours a week so I ended with a 327 GPA I personally believe if I didn’t have to work and took an easier major my GPA would be higher - Logic tells me that GPA can not be the only factor that will determine whether a person would be successful in medical school and become a proficient doctor I am finally graduated with my bachelors and what I think is important about obtaining your goals is the amount of effort you put in and to not let setbacks define your future
Comment from : Brandon Duffy

I’m a premed freshman and I’m trying to get a good start as far as gpa goes Chemistry is interesting

Comment from : Dr Everything lol

I’m a freshman that kept changing my major and learning how to study, only have completed 11 credits of uni but my gpa is 10 — I have no worries if not being smart enough bc I have proven when setting myself up for success I do nothing but succeed but I’m concerned how med schools will look at my choppy gpa from freshman year I took like 2 classes at a time everyone other year 🥲 mainly Cs and Fs and one A - like yuck If only 22 year old me could trade brains with 18 year old me and have a redo
Comment from : IA

THANK YOU SO MUCH
Comment from : Katelyn Nguyen

What if I was doing a different major for one year and had a terrible 28 GPA before I changed to a science major (back to first year) and got an average of 38 GPA? Will they take my old GPA into account?

Comment from : Nate M

I'm just wondering how on earth people are able to get clinical experience and volunteering opportunities prior to entering medical school Here in Australia, there are tremendous restrictions that prevent people who are not direct medical staff from being "behind the scenes" on premises

I'm at a 219 cGPA at the moment, now going into my fourth year (I'm taking 5) Is there any hope for me?
Comment from : Anu Sainbhi

My father passed away before my first year of college and I have finished my freshman year of undergrad with a 30 This year I am much more motivated and in a way better mindset and the break from school (due to the pandemic) actually helped me regain motivation for school I have decided as a sophomore in undergrad that i would like to do pre-med Currently hoping that my actions the next three years will make up for my freshman year Also, does anyone have any experience with medical schools having a “reason for bad mark” section of the application I believe I can explain my poor grades for last year
Comment from : Brielle D Perez

I’m crying because my GPA is ASS and I love wanted this my entire life and I’m doing so much outside stuff to build my resume and trying very hard to adjust my studying habits and trying really hard to do what I can and it’s nice to hear I still have a chance 😿😿

I have a 34 now second semester sophomore year I feel that with the future courses I’m thinking I’ll most likely get somewhere between a 36-37 with a decent MCAT and extracurricular resume will that be ok?

Comment from : Esme Tirado

I majored in computer science The average GPA for my class was 27 and I got a little below that I guess I should have majored in something easier or gone to a school that has grade inflation like Harvard which the most common grade is an A
Comment from : MrApplewine

I have great grades in all of my humanities classes (As and Bs, very few Cs) but I have Cs in my science and math courses 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m a junior and was a nursing major (Changed to sociology for my Bacc degree) I haven’t taken chemistry, biology or physics yet I feel like my gpa won’t be boosted enough
Comment from : Jazlyn

All you need to know is incredible MCAT and some luck
Comment from : Alessandro Brunetti

Why the hell do you bother to do medicine with a bad gpa You may end up struggling throughout your life You have to learn every day for the rest of your life to be in the game Better do something which don't require you to learn a lot

Comment from : ZBoone Beats

Any insights on becoming a MD if you're already a pharmacist? any advantages in the admissions department? FYI: pharmacy school was free for me so spending money on medical school would not be an issue so no need to get into the student loan part of it

( Also I’m a sophomore, psychology major, writing minor, looking to pursue psychiatry) if that helps

Here is a quick summary of my path:brbrbrGraduated from college in 2015 Applied to med school Summer 2016 and failed Re-took my MCAT and re-applied in Summer 2017, got 2 interviews, but got waitlisted in both (failed again) I applied for an SMP in Summer 2018 in one of the schools that waitlisted me because if I was waitlisted, that means that they were interested to some degree After busting my ass and proving that I got what it takes, they called me in for another interview I was accepted this March 2019 into that school :)brbrbrTL;DRbr2016-2017 cycle: Failbr2017-2018 cycle: 2 interviews (waitlisted)br2018-2019: SMP and accepted

Quick question If my undergrad GPA was 38 but my pharmacy school GPA was 32-34, how bad would that look to medical schools? since it is a downward trend but with much harder courses
Comment from : Martianhunter09

This is 100 legit I graduated with a 32 overall and science GPA and ended up studying extremely hard for the MCAT Ended up with a 521 score and did a year of post bacc at my university and aced 24 credits with a 39 GPA I am currently enrolled in an US MD school I received 3 MD interviews and 3 DO interviews I highly recommend choosing a US school over the Caribbean schools
