remember folks its not just grades, its what classes you took, where you took them and what was your degree in.

A 3.7 GPA advanced basket weaving with a minor in tractor pull from Bob's Downhome Community College is not as good as a 2.9 GPA neuroscience/microbiology degree from UCLA

As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.

I thought that too. But looking through profiles of various US medical schools.. wow, so many arts and humanities... why did I waste my time killing myself for B's and C's? I wonder.

Please. We all know that they will look at undergrad grades and send him the rejection letter. Stop putting out false info that post bac progs/masters prog help. ( There are very few that use this route).

What would be better is to take some easy science classess at a cc and pad up your science gpa as close to 3.0 and that will do the trick.

My thoughts,rants and opinions @ my blog

Here's a list of some schools and their averages, including some allopathic schools:

Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine
AVG GPA: 3.5 AVG MCAT: 24

Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine
AVG GPA: 3.2 AVG MCAT: 23

West Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine
AVG GPA: 3.4 AVG MCAT: 21

Meharry Medical College
AVG GPA: 3.2 AVG MCAT: 25

Morehouse Medical College
AVG GPA: 3.3 AVG MCAT: 26

University of Minnesota
AVG GPA: 3.6 AVG MCAT: 25

Marshall University
AVG GPA: 3.5 AVG MCAT: 26

Howard University
AVG GPA: 3.3 AVG MCAT: 24

Post-Bacc program is based on a basic science curriculum required as a prerequisite for a medical school application

1 year Bio + lab
1 year Chem + lab
1 year Organic + lab
1 year Physics + lab

There are no other requirements, and "some easy science classes at a cc" can actually hurt your chances.

Hey, what about Skipper's? How could you forget about your own school?

That's intersting and differs from numbers I've seen...what's your source?

Aloha,
