tyro Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I know everyone is telling you otherwise, but I think you do have a chance in the U.S. Your GPA is amazing, and may compensate for your MCAT. I personally know people who got into U.S. schools with MCAT scores below 30 and with lower GPAs than you, so it's definately possible for you too. In the States, both an A and A+ are 4.0, so your 3.95 may be even higher. You should apply early and pick your schools wisely. However, your chances in Canada are really limited because of your MCAT. You could apply to Ottawa and Mac, since these schools don't require the MCAT. Since you're GPA and extra-curricular are great, you would have a shot at least at these two schools. Good luck! I have just finished my final semester of undergrad. My original plan was to re-write the MCAT (a 3rd time) on June 18th; however, I think I've exhausted my studious capabilities for the next little while-- I really don't feel up for giving up another summer studying for the MCAT. From what we've learned about the applicant's this cycle, do I have any realistic shot? GPA 3.95 MCAT: July/07 10 BS 10 PS 6 VR 26S July/08 8 BS 10 PS 9 VR 27S EC: lots of shadowing/clinical experience, some non-tradition artistic endeavors, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cling Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 lots of volunteer work:coaching shadowing helping in research labs clubs, etc. professional work: worked for a fashion/art magazine generated over $1million in sales over 5 years gpa: ~3.85+ How can you have such an incredibly high GPA, but bomb the MCAT twice in a row? I suggest you study for the MCAT, because your GPA is indicative of a pretty smart person. Regardless of your undergrad, you should be able to tackle the basic science on the MCAT. It does take time...2 or 3 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
