gnatcatcher Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 after doing really poorly in first year (few Cs, a D, etc.), and taking some time off of school (which ended up becoming 2 years if you count part time semester as off, sadly), I got a 3.94 GPA on my first full time semester back. are things looking up for me?

RicardoKaká Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 Definitely. Anything is possible. My first year GPA was a ~3.4 on a 4.3 scale and didnt think medicine would happen for me. Fortunately schools are lenient will weight your GPA dropping a few of your bad courses, especially if they were in first year. Keep studying and keep pushing yourself, but enjoy the ride. Life also gets stressful in medicine. So take the time to enjoy the journey. If you keep working hard and keep pushing youll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will because this semester is the last one where I have to take any hard classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will because this semester is the last one where I have to take any hard classes if you continue getting 3.9+ and have at least 2 full time years like that then for Queen's and Western you'll be good, GPA wise. Ottawa try and aim for 3.95+. Mac will definitely be dependent on your CARS and CASPer, and Toronto it's hard to say because it'll depend on your weighted GPA if you're eligible. Best to look up their gpa calculations on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatcatcher Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 has anyone messed up early on and did well later and made it to med school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of examples on premed101. Some schools (Queens, Ottawa, UWO) Use last 2 or best 2 years as a weighted GPA. Get +3.9 in years 3 and 4 you open many chances for interviews.
