I don't know, I am sorry. But I would try anyways, you never know. Also do volunteer work at a hosptial or something, that always looks good.

Good luck!

thanks! do u think a lot of clinical work will kind of make up for hte low grades?

It couldn't hurt...try and take a few more classes to show that you are capable of getting good grades. Like next semester take 15 hours and try and get at least a 3.6 GPA, that along with hours of volunteer work will make a GREAT impression...

good luck, let me know if I can help any more

I suggest you apply for the premed. If you have high confidence that you can do well, and you have a clear set path/goal. They may let you in. Also if you score shows gradual improvement through the course of time, then they will look at that also.

Also for the premed program, MUA don't require that you have the MCAT.

I'd say, wait a lil while before you apply, atleast one more semester. Like an other person mentioned to u, take 15 hrs or so nxt sem. and just knock em all out with A's. Show them that you can do it big league style and at the same time do some volunteer work at a clinic or something. When you do take classes be in good rapport with you professors, maybe you can get one of them to write you a good letter of recommendation and that'll really help you out. If you are not feeling confident about applying right now, then the best thing to do is wait and improve your chances. You rather have your acceptance delayed than not being accepted at all. Hope I helped ya..
