bored Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 yes for sure, I have friends who are very hard working and get 3.96+ (can't count myself among their type ).I definetely agree with the idea that hard work can get you to great places, including academically. but even they aren't even CLOSE to a 95% average. a 3.98 can result from 89, 90, 90, 91, 93 ... which is not even near a 95. i was always under the impression that 95% average is very very difficult to get / super-human etc etc... as I said, perhaps I'm taking this 95% number too literally. and to other med hopefuls reading threads like this, this could be quite discouraging.. I was given a similar mindset about applying in 3rd year- a lot of posters suggested you'd have to be a super-star, 3.99+, pubs, blablabla.. when that simply isn't true. i really don't know where I'm going with this.. but just a thought. hard work will get you in to med school.. that's whats should be understood from all these convos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hieu Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thinking of dropping out and restarting from scratch next semester. Then do it now to keep your university's file clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMFtastic Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 If you apply to OMSAS from MUN it is a 94+ for a 4.0 I did manage this is one semester: I had: Inorganic chem: 96 French: 96 Geometry: 97 Vertebrates: 96 Statistics: 100 Best semester of my undergrad. I have yet to get an overall of 97 again, two semesters at 96 I believe, but the allusive 97. Never know, I am in my last semester know and am in shape for a repeat.
