I haven't taken the MCAT yet, i'm coming from a state university. I've made A's in all my organic chemistry classes and a B in biochem. I've taken histology (first semester class of med school) and made a high B. Rest of my grades are B's mostly. My overall gpa is a 3.3 and my prerequisite gpa is like a 3.5. I will also be applying without a degree. I have a good reason for going into medicine as stated in my personal statement with decent LOR's. What do you guys think and what did you get accepted with? Feedback greatly appreciated.

seems like you will do fine, just take the mcats b/c they would prefer for your application.

what state school are you from? i feel that i would have just gone to one of the california university state schools instead of going private. are classes easy? i think i would do better in a larger classes.

The general education classes are quite big (~60 students) but once you get into your higher level courses classes are no more than 24 per class. Most classes are not that bad. It's usually a safe assumption that private schools are more difficult than state schools. I'm from TN

I'm in a catch 22. I planned on taking the MCAT August and spend the whole summer studying so i can kill it and just apply to US med schools. Well, after spring I will have only 83 credit hours. That means I would have to take either 2 or 3 classes (depending on credit hours) just to be able to get in. That is why I was asking. SJSM wants me, but they are not accredited in all states, which worries me.

I have a 2.75 cum. gpa and I have recently graduated from college with a bachelors degree. I plan on taking some classes over this summer to raise my gpa at a community college. I was looking into the premedical studies program at SABA and applying for that program. Can anyone give me any insight on it and what else I should do to get into this school? Should I just raise my gpa and apply to the school in the MD program or should I raise it and apply for the premedical program? Also, after finishing the premedical, does that guarantee you admission into their medical school? they didnt have any information on the process on the website.
TY

every time someone posts one of these threads i send a friendly reminder =

no one on this board is on the admissions committee, anything we say is an opinion and asking that question on this forum is tantamount to asking this question to random people in times square. there is no standard applicant, i got in with a gpa under a 2.8 in college (thank you fraternity life), some people get rejected with a 3.3 in college; nothing on this forum is fact just opinions that are as often correct as they are wrong in real life situations depending on different people.

every recipe for admission is different...

while my GPA and MCAT scores were average at best, my bench press and sudoku skillz were strong to quite strong.
