do i stand a chance? (for 2009)


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

I would appreciate if anyone can help me with their insight.

 

I'm 3rd year undergrad (biology / psychology double major).

 

1st year GPA = 3.44

2nd year GPA = 3.61 (32 credits)

3rd year GPA = 3.79 hopefully higher (year not over) (32 credits)

NOTE: full course load each year unless otherwise specified.

 

Do I stand a chance? What can I improve? Where do I stand a chance with my current stats? Tips?

 

Thanks a lot.

i regards to ECs, 1 day of shadowing means nuthin to med schools - in Canada, shadowing is not a priority. Rather, they want to see that you are doing things that you like, and are committed to your passions. 20 ECs you did for 1 month would look worse than 5 ECs that you have been committed to for multiple years.

 

Hence, it is very difficult to substantially improve your ECs within 6-12 months. What you can improve are your reference letters, your essay and your mcat.
