Low End GPA...which schools to apply to?


Recommended Posts

Alright, so my cGPA is in the B+ range (78%) ~3.3 -3.4

 

I have a good amount of long term volunteering including international and some research experience.

 

Which schools should I apply to so at least I would have an interview chance?

I am not sure if you still need advice on picking your schools, but if you do consider using the LizzyM formula, invented by LizzyM over at SDN.

 

Briefly, it involves multiplying your cGPA by 10 and adding that to your MCAT.

eg 3.75/30 will give you a LizzyM score of 67.5. Compare that to your school of interest (using their median/mean score) to see if you are competitive or not.

Does that spreadsheet apply equally to Canadians?
