hey guys, what does "MERPed" mean?

off-topic:
So here I log on 3 months later and my random post is at the top of the forum cause a billion people visited it. . .not bad

I have a 3.7 GPA and an MCAT score around 23. I read somewhere that the average GPA to get into Ross is around 22ish; however, I retook the MCAT to improve my score and did very poorly since I was sick. Will my poor score interfere with my first score? Do I still have a chance to get in? Thanks for your help!

a lot of people log onto this site to get info on their chances just like you did and when they see this thread as a sticky and they go thru it, it gives them some insight, thereby reducing the "what are my chances" threads that people get soo mad about. was a good idea to make it into a sticky.

does being a chiropractor help in getting admitted. I come from a medically based chiropractic school and got out with a 2.9gpa. my cumulative gpa is a 3.1. I didnt do so hot on the mcat, 16 0, but if i'd answered four more ?'s right, i would have gotten a 19. much more respectable. I know, I know... If "if's" and "but's" were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry christmas. I had been out of organic and physics for 6 years when i took the mcat. I was hoping the fact that i've practiced as a chiro for four years would make up for my low mcat. any thots?

i think i get the idea of some american premedical sudent getting peaky about school, Ross university does not mean u're in some kinda bondage, if u have a 3.6 even 4.0 Gpa, i don't give a crap u still get the same MD degree as a 2.8, as far as am concern Ross university professor are highly experienced than most U.S medical school professor, thus have seen some Nobel prize winners among them, considering the Gpa, have seen a 2.9 gpa get in U.s medical schools , all it all comes down to his how well did u learn the material and how good a doctor you are, a 4.o and 38 on the Mcat can do poorly in medical school as compared to a 2.8 and 22 on the Mcat, as a matter of fact the previous experience of having a low stats might be a source of motivation for the person in med school. We all have our ups and downs. Gosh if u have other thoughts about Ross u might as not apply but writing some stupid messages about it won't solve anything, if u wanna be a doctoor u might as well ge ur head straight and stop being peaky about schools
