what are my chances?
Our members don't see this ad.
My interview is next week. Thank you! |

It depends
Crystal, I know this is intuitive, but your chances still greatly depend on several factors:
1) Academic history (GPA, degree, courses taken, MCAT) 2) Health Care experience (physician shadowing, patient interaction, any?) 3) Your personality, your essay and your ability to form an intelligent personal statement 4) Personal achievements, accomplishments 5) Your perceived ability to make it through the program After the interview your files is sent down to Dominica to be reviewed by the admissions committee here. This group of faculty and administration review all of the information in your application, your transcripts, and your interview letter to determine whether you will make it here at Ross and as a physician. Without knowing any of your other information, it really is impossible to give you any idea about your chances. Clearly though, you have a better chance now than you did before you were invited for an interview. Hope this helps at least a little. MitchDC

something to consider.
Now here is a case where I think you should consider upgrading a few science courses to boost your overall GPA and science GPA. With a 30 MCAT this should give you a good chance for a US school

Agreed
Yes, I would postpone your island adventure to increase your science GPA. A 30 on the MCAT is good enough to get into a US School. Apply broadly, and don't be picky. Beggars can't be choosers. If it fails within a year, then come on down.
Good Luck. |

another four years
nonefornow:
In order to boost a gpa from 3.0 to 3.5 would require another three to four years of college or graduate school. Don't waste the years of your life and not be sure you will even get into a US medical school. Investigate altenatives such as SGU, ROSS,AUC.

apply now
This individual has a 2.7 science gpa. It will take years, if at all possible, to increase his/her gpa to a 3.5. Even with a 4.0 in graduate schools, any us admission commitee will still look at the applicant's undergraduate grades. There are lots of applicants with phenomenal grades applying to stateside schools everyyear and unfortunately, without special circumstances, this individual will get pass over everytime. Going to medical schools like RUSM is the price most of us have to pay for enjoying our 'youths' too much. It is still baffling to me why there are so many cocky individuals at Ross. oh well....
