Hello everyone, I'm going to try to keep this short.
I am from Canada, and I just finished my 2nd year at an Ivy league business school. The first two years have been a bit rough and I finished with a 3.0 GPA. I've also taken science courses as my electives and have a cumulative science gpa in these courses of 4.0/4.0. Throughout high school I've always been interested in science and have done well (95+ in all science courses) but because of personal reasons I didn't go through with it. Just these few months, i've applied to transfer into a science undergrad because my parents thought it was right for me to study something I really enjoy and I was accepted into the other universities. Right now I'm taking my science courses in biology and chemistry and midterm grades are released and I also have a 4.0 in both courses.
I know medical schools often don't look at what you majored in during your undergrad; at least that's what it's like with Canadian medical schools, I was wondering if that was the same with American medical schools?
Also, one of my biggest concerns is my 3.0 GPA in my first two years of BBA. I will be doing another 4-year science undergrad starting this fall, but I know a lot of schools look at your cGPA which means my first 2 years of BBA will also be counted is that correct? I'm really worried how this will affect my chances despite me trying my hardest to pull up my GPA the next few years and scoring highly on my mcat. If someone could give me some insight on this that would be very much appreciated!
Thank you so much in advance!
