-Also, I'm sending in my complete app for the Jan '09 class next month and THEN taking 4 months to study and take the MCAT for the second time. If I was to get MERP'd (or rejected for some reason) now, would I be able to send in another application for the same Jan '09 semester? Or is there a way to just tell them the major update and just ask them to reevaluate the existing app?
Thanks yall.
Why would you apply for two semesters? You apply for the one you want and if the class is full (and you get accepted) you get pushed to the next semester.

Hey Guys,

I was just wondering if I should apply to Ross. These are my stats
Undergrad GPA: 2.3
MCAT: 28R
Loads of extracurricular and community involvement.
Research experience as well: volunteer for a semester in a cognitive neurosci lab and just got a research job in a hospital for the summer.

I know I should just apply and see, but my GPA is quite low. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks all.

More importantly what is your scienceGPA (chem, physics, bio, math etc)? You may get MERPed for that GPA, however your MCAT is as strong point. Might as well apply, it won't hurt.

Is Ross for Me - Chance?

I have a 3.5 overall GPA and 3.4 BCPM GPA, with a 33R MCAT. I'm debating whether its worth it to spend so much money on applying to US schools and risk sitting out for a year if I don't get accepted or if it would be wise to just apply straight to Ross or SGU and bypass applying to US schools. Any advice?
