My 2.9 and 22N got me in
But call the office you interviewed with because they forget about us sometimes. Oh, and try to relax, I only applied to Ross so I know your stress.

I'm a second semester here. Averages for MCAT are slightly above 7 across the board and average GPA is 3.15 (about that). Admissions into the PACE program is MCAT 25 or above and GPA 3.2. Once in the school to get into pace you need a 3.5 or above in your classes after your first semester.

What is the PACE program?

from what the above poster writes, i think its the scholars program where students don't attend class. they watch lectures and study on their own. I've read somewhere, i think on this site, that you can ask to be placed in the program after your first semester and i think the person above is referring to the requirements to enter it.

Pace = Scholars. You can attend classes if you wish or watch them over the net. You've still got Problem Based Learning and Gross Anatomy to attend.

Scottsdale Indian, I am a 32 year old white male, just graduated with a 3.1 GPA, 2.9 Science GPA and a 24Q MCAT. I spent 4 years in the Air Force, have been a CT tech for the last twelve years (concurrent with my military service) and was a pharmacy tech for two years before that. I have a couple of volunteer experiences per year for the last 10 years (or so), and I am in for the May '07 class. General GPA, science GPA and obviously MCAT scores count the most. Volunteer experience I think (while necessary) really seem to be more of a separating factor for lower ranked applicants. I may be wrong, but I have yet to hear about anybody with a 2.4 GPA and 10,000 hours of volunteering getting into med school. Not to play the race card, but I don't know of a lot of American Indians that try to get into medical school, so if your stats are a little on the low side (which is why I assume you are looking at Caribbean schools), you should really try to go for American schools. Your race will definitely count for the schools trying to keep their affirmative action statistics high (which is all of them). I'm sure everybody is going to jump my butt for making that comment, but it is something that you should use to your advantage if your name correctly implies your heritage. Good luck to you!
