HARRY_124 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hi i know there have been lot of threads regarding applicant chances. However I really need unbiased input. I am completing my 3rd year at UWO. I am guessing my OMSAS GPA will be around 3.4 and i have an MCAT of 33Q. I have decent ECs with a lot of hospital volunteering. I was wondering whether I have a shot at med schools in US Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumanmacbook Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 1) Check if you have all the pre-reqs (read the sticky above for American schools) 2) Your GPA should be okay, your MCAT score is quite good. Some American schools weigh MCAT higher. Try to bring GPA up as high as you can. 3) Make sure you have enough money to go... I would say you have a pretty good chance, according to previous posts.

IamSuperDoctor Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 if you apply early you have a chance, if you apply late then you have no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathvvv Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 MCAT is good GPA might be slightly low but people have gotten in with lower IF you are from western, you may be in luck, AMCAS counts all western courses over 80 as 4.0. I am not sure if your GPA will get a boost from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if your GPA will get a boost from this. I do not like this statement. Yes, a few people get in with that GPA, but that is insignificantly low in a class of 150. I wouldn't say your GPA is slightly low. I would say it will be your achilles heel. Step up and raise it or go home. I'm gonna start giving hard love on these boards.
