Guest Future MSFer Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hello, My grades aren't that great. My cgpa is about a B+ ( I think that's 3.5), but I've got some really good extra curriculars. For example, I will soon be going to a developing country to assist a doctor at his clinic, I'm part of St Jon's ambulance brigade (MFR certificate) , I volunteer at a hospital, I was on a Varsity sports team and I work of health Canada during the summer.... I haven't written my MCAT's yet (that will be in August), But I am certain I will do fine, since I have lots of time to study. I'm VERY worried that my cgpa won't cut it, but I a passionate about one day becoming a doctor ( I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to be a doctor!). If my cgpa is too low, should take some courses again to boost my cgpa or will it look bad if I took the course twice? Or are my extra curriculars (along with a decent MCAT score, hopefully!) good enough to potentially get into med school? I welcome to any advice.

If all else fails, try the Irish schools, Australian schools or carribean schools if you really wanted to be an MD, anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
