GPA and MCAT scores of those attending

[pinkgeek]

I'm stuck with a very low GPA and pretty high MCAT score and a little bit of clinical experience. I will be doing Org 2 in the summer and then apply after that.

I was wondering on average what scores you had that got you accepted? Higher GPA, Good MCAT, or just good LORs? Which one is most important in your opinion.

Thanks!

hey whats up, gpa wise you should be fine as long as you finish your requirements to be honest i dont really know the median gpa is. if you have an average mcat you should be ok too. again just make sure you finish the requirments spartan has. if you have any others questions let me know. good luck.

You dont need MCAT for admission to Spartan, as far as I can tell.

Nope you don't need MCAT for admission.

The admission to most Caribbean schools is relaxed.
You can probably get in without all pre-req. Surprised, yes me too when I heard of some students that did.
Anyways, it does happen when it should not, but it is to your disadvantage if you enter without all pre-req's because you will eventually have to do them and better before then during the time you are to study for the real exam the USMLE right!??

It is not often that a student will get rejected to say it bluntly. Just apply, but the BIG issue is getting through - it is tough and a TON of work! Good luck!
