So, I attend a small, competitive liberal arts university, where it seems like everyone who majors in a science is a genius! I currently have a 2.9 cumulative GPA and an extremely low (~2.5) science GPA. I need some encouraging advice because I am seeing more and more people asking for advice with 3.9 or above GPA and I feel like I won't be able to achieve my dreams. My GPA HAS IMPROVED from Freshman year! I would like to apply to medical school without going through a post-bacc program first, but am still interested in applying to post-bacc/SMP programs just in case.
Any thoughts on what I should do in my junior year to really be fit for med school acceptance? MCAT score needed?
I appreciate you all very much :)
BTW: I am involved in my university as well as heavily involved off-campus. I do shadowing and intern at a nonprofit healthcare organization. I have taken summer classes last summer and am currently taking classes so I am super productive and extremely dedicated.
