I'm asking this question for my girlfriend. She graduated with a B.S. in Biology in May 2011
Stats:
Cum Laude
cGPA 3.4,
sGPA 3.09,
AO: 3.75,
MCAT:19
~150 hours shadowing a primary care physician
100+ hour community service
She applied to a SMP in Ft. Worth at the UNT Health Science Center and was rejected today. She is currently pursuing her Masters in Education and has one year left until completion. Her passion is not Education and she really wants to get back into science curriculum. Applied this past cycle and didn't get any interviews.
She wants to know if she should:
1. Continue her Master's in Education, study for the MCAT, and apply again this cycle
2. Take more upper division courses and study for the MCAT
She told me that because she has been doing her Masters in Education, her understanding of the basic sciences is lacking now.
Any advice on what she should do?
