Thread: what are my chances!!!!

Hello everyone just asking for some advice I've applied to the carribean Sgu I have a 3.45 GPA and 21 on the MCAT have great letters of recommendations and about 3 years of volunterring, worked in a hospital for 2 years as a phlebotomist and the list goes on.. p.s dont really want to take the MCAT again even though that was my first time. what are my chances of getting accepted to SGU ?

chances are you'll be asked to retake the mcat 21 is too low for sgu. if you don't retake the mcat than you might be offered an alternative route into the MD program, either FOM or MPH. I would highly suggest starting to study for the mcats and retaking them again if you want to get into SGU.

so it all comes down to your Mcat score whether you get admitted to SGU or not!! just wondering isn't the average Mcat at SGU 24, accroding to their website...

Nah, according to the website the avg MCAT's a 26.

The adcom obviously looks at more than just your MCAT. But, like anywhere else, if 1 part of your academic credentials are considerably below the norm, you're likely going to need something, somewhere on your application to make up for it.

FWIW, I agree with RJ's assessment, but we're both just guessing really.

well your gpa is about average but your mcat is low so if you bring it up you should be admitted, if your gpa was low also i would say you wouldn't stand a chance or should do a masters or something to bring up that gpa and retake the mcat. They made me retake the mcat with a 21 when i was a first termer, a long long time ago.. I ended up getting a 24 and as soon as they got my score they called me with an acceptance, but like i said that was a very long time ago. so it shouldn't surprise me now if you needed something better than a 24. the average stats for sgu admission go up every term.
