Summary of Application Experience
Don't be discouraged by a less-than-stellar undergrad GPA - I only realized junior year in college that medicine was what I wanted to do and it's been a helluva long winding road but the end result is that I'm going to school in the fall. Undergrad grades aren't make or break - do well on the MCAT and in a program like the G'town SMP and schools will notice your dedication and see how badly you want to be a doctor.
