Comments?
Below is a very long list of schools (MD/DO) I am considering application for Fall 2010 matriculation. I am not applying to all of the schools below. It's just a reference of schools I am looking at. Yes, I know my GPA will not be up near a 3.7 by the time I finish my post-bacc work, HOWEVER, there is much more to an application than just a GPA. Although GPA is a big fact, I know several cases where the GPA was a bit lower than a 3.4, MCAT average, and they have gotten into stellar schools. I know I've got what it takes to be a great physician, if you think you can knock me down, just know that you have no chance.
Good luck if you are going through this process too.
