one thing to note with that mcat and gpa you shouldnt have much trouble with an american DO school if you choose to not retake the mcat

Heres my stats, let me know what you guys think:
BA biology at baylor university '07
cGPA: 2.91
science gpa:~2.75
mcat: 22q taking again very soon
ec: some volunteer experience at hospitals, nothing too significant.

Think i'll atleast get merped?

Hard to say, u r borderline on both the gpa and mcat. I am sure ross has accepted people with those stats but its not common. Apply early for best chance.

thanks for the quick responce arga! What would be considered applying early?

for the Jan 09 semester, early would be june or july (time that file should be complete) there is a Merp starting in July so if you apply now and u think you might get merped you can do MERP from July-Nov and then start in the Jan09 semester.

shanesoslick, I would say you will at least get MERP....your stats look borderline MERP/RUSOM so your interview/recommendations may make/break you.....also, upper level science courses help (if you did well)

thanks, i actually did decent my last two years of which i took mostly upper level bio's...kinda didnt study for the mcats first time around, but i been workin on it and have been getting around 27's...hopefully that sticks!

What are my chances?
Undergrad: 2.73
MS in Public Health: 3.56
BCPM: undergrad: 2.16, graduate 3.42
MCAT: 25Q
EC: Research - laboratory research leading to a publication
Currently working in clinical research
Healthcare: Worked at a clinic, worked for the state in TB control
Volunteer: for a few months at a homeless shelter

with that improvement in grades you should just be able to explain why you got low grades in undergrad. if you can do that then you should be fine

hey guys... its almost may 26 and I still havent applied to ross. I want to apply to the september class which is in 3 months and i have the following profile....3.1GPA, 2.9 science, 15M MCAT but im' taking them again this sat but i dont know if it will change by much...
