IScream4IceCream Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Hi, my GPA is ~3.6 (due to personal events, health concerns etc.; does not reflect my true academic ability) and I want to get in to the Fall 2020 cohort. I am entering my 4th year this fall. I am studying for the mcat this summer and focusing mainly on CARS. If I get a 130+ on CARS and do well on casper, do I have a chance, given my low GPA? Has anyone been in a similar situation before, and if so how'd it go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckduckgoose18 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Based on the stats for the class of 2021, yes, there are people who've gained admission to MacMed w/ a GPA ~3.60. To get an interview, you'd have to have an insanely high CARS score and/or kill CASPER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderfishy Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Take it for what it's worth, but I am on the waitlist currently. I applied with a 3.69 GPA, a 128 on CARS, and I must have done very well on CASPer. My interview went very okay - my low GPA and MCAT likely put me on the bottom of the waitlist, and even if I did perform well on the interview it makes sense I was waitlisted due to my average to below average other stats!

The interview's worth 70% of the rank order, so it's all up in the air now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
targaryen Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I was accepted with a 3.67 cGPA there's hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelchopsticks Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I just received my acceptance off the waitlist with a 3.63 GPA. Its definitely possible Medfool25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
