How are your test scores? crushing the GRE--or better, the MCAT--can help Did you discuss your GPA in your essay? I got a C in O-Chem I, though it was while I was working full-time in a senior position at a nonprofit and full-time between two different schools. (I wish I had addressed that more directly in my essay, but I was worried about drawing attention to it.) I struggle with debilitating depression so i talked about that. I did not directly talk about it but it was implied thats why my grades were so low. I don't believe it will be enough though. I went to Texas Tech, I don't know if they're known for that tbh.

ancientMedicine Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 5 minutes ago, HopefulPA2019 said: Ironically all my prerequisite courses were a b or higher. That is why im so shocked that Caspa calculated my science gpa so low. Overall, my gpa is 3.3 which is still not so hot. I guess it is because of my electives from my biology major where i scored some Cs. I talk about it in my essay what happened but i dont know if that will even matter. UNT is my only shot because it does not have a minimum for the science. I had to withdraw my other applications which is very discouraging. Spend a semester at a community college doing an EMT program. You'll come out certified, pick up like 18 science hours, and boost your GPA. Plus you can accumulate PCE / HCE while you wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I know my odds aren’t great of getting an invite since my app was under review on 6/5, but I’m still trying to remain somewhat hopeful. I got an interview invitation for Oct 19 today. Hopefully you'll get one soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know theres no minimum but im still nervous. Look at schools that have a replacement GPA- they look at either the last 40 or 60 credit hours. My GPA was 3.2, sGPA 3.08 but my replacement GPA was 3.8 After I graduated in 2016 I went to EMS school, became a EMT-B, then went to work at a private ambulance company and at several ERs. My CASPA GPA wasn't great (didn't do well freshman year and paying for it now) so I continued to take classes every semester and just recently took biochem. I was able to raise my science GPA and my overall GPA but STILL was pretty low. I've recently been accepted to a out of state program. I was in your shoes not that long ago so it's not impossible. I would recommend if you haven't retaken those C's in your science prerequisites then you should just because they obviously want to make sure you can handle graduate level science courses. I applied to CASPA twice and if I hadn't been accepted this would had been my third time applying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
