Cum Gpa: 2.70

2nd MCAT Score: 15N
Currently working as a research and development associate for a PH.D, Gaining valuable laboratory experience and hopefully a cool letter of Reccomendation

What are my chances at this school.

Thanks.

Were you science major? What was your science GPA? Is English your first language?

In my opinion I say just apply. Whats the worst that can happen? ANd you'll get peace of mind knowing that you did. And if all else fails you already have an acceptance.
Seriously, everyone has something special in their application, thats why theres no specific cutoff.
Good luck either way!

Did you get the questions for the personal statement? It's pretty straight forward after that. Answer the questions in paragraph form, like a short essay - 500 words.

no where do I get the questions from? the guy who was from saba staff and came to my uni to have a conference about saba, gave me a package that includes the application and all, but it doesnt talk about how to write the personal statement and there are no questions provided in that package

If you have an application it should be at the bottom of it, right before you sign the appl. I find it bizarre that so many people on this forum want to be spoon fed information without doing a little research for themselves. You want to go to medical school... everyone else has managed to find the questions... they are there, you just have to find them. Go to the admissions tab --> application --> download application (since you don't see the questions on the appl you have) --> go to the bottom where it says PERSONAL STATEMENT and answer the questions "On a separate piece of paper..."

Hey guys im a Junior who is applying to medical schools in the summer.

My gpa is pretty low, 3.2 and my science is around a 3.0, im still waiting on the rest of this semester to come through. My question is with mcat of 27 and my gpa, "what are my chances"?

and also i have a rack of ec's, research/RA/TA/Scribe at hospital (over 200hrs) / and like the usual president of stuff, with a scholars citation from University of Maryland College Park

i have 120 credits as a jr, and will probably marticulate with about 150, and i am a finance major who has taken a rack of bio classes (biochem/mamphys etc)
