What semester you applying for?

GPA is fine....MCAT is right on the border for most Ros acceptees

Your stats are good enough to be offered an interview :-)

if you pass you get into the next semester, that is why MERP is good. from what i have heard it is also a GREAT review for the real deal, and MERPers do well in SEM 1-4. Lastly, I hear it is a good chance to meet some people before going to the rock

I say you are good to go...especially if you took a bunch of higher level science courses and did well......make sure you don't mess up the interview

So, here's my stats.... It's kind of on the low, low side, but I would really love to become a MD...
Undergrad GPA ~2.3
Science GPA ~2.3
MUA pre-med 3.9
MCAT 23 R
Good letters of recs from profs and doctors.
Is there any chance that I might skip the pre-meds at Ross?

There are no premed classes at Ross. Just MERP, which is one semester long in Miami.
