What is the lowest undergrad GPA that anyone has seen accepted for an American Medical School. I read of someone who was accepted at Harvard with a 3.20 in Computer Science. He also had a PhD and was a faculty member at another University.

Hey,

 

the answer to your question is... it varies :)

 

In the us your science score counts more. Which means you can have 3.2 and yet have a 4.0 in your science courses. This makes you pretty competitive. Above all, mcat scores are very very important. If your mcat scores are stellar ,your gpa does not seem too big of a deal. I read once that a 2.2 gpa student went into medschool... what she did was do volunteer work related to med field for 2 years and shadowed an md etc... I hope this answers your question. also keep in mind for a us resident... there is close to 200 md schools to apply to. And your local state MD schools can be very forgiving if you have at least a b average.
