    Thank you for sharing - I was wondering to ask for some advice as a non traditional with a low GPA with a strong upward trend. I’ve been worried with an overall cumulative gpa of 3.18 after a post bac, 3.4 science gpa (due to taking a lot of sciences later), and a 507 MCAT with a low CARS. I feel confident with the rest of my application, just worried about my stats, especially the low GPA. I have averaged a 3.8 GPA for the last 70 units - my freshman and sophomore GPA were very poor, but I am not the same student during that time. Should I be worried about not getting into an allopathic medical school or an interview? I know DO medical schools would be a good fit for me from what I have been told. However, I have always aimed to get to allopathic medical schools. Sorry for a lot of the information, and thank the for the content and help.

    Thank you for sharing this. Currently have a 3.18 cumulative GPA with a strong upward trend after a post bac. I contemplate whether I should have gone for a special masters program, but I have averaged a 3.8 for the last 70 units. My GPA previously was very low before my junior and senior year where I raised it. Scored a 507 MCAT with a low CARS section. Hoping the application cycle goes well.

    Hi Amanda, congratulations on acceptance into your dream school, truly happy for you. I am ready now ready to study for MCAT as I just finished my finals. I have very limited financial resources to spend on MCAT but after watching your "How I Scored a 518 on the MCAT", I am convinced and leaning towards buying the MedSchool Insider's MCAt prep course as this course seems legit. I wanted to get your blessings and reaffirmation recommending this course? Please help, as I am about to drop $1300 for the course haha...Thank you so much!

    • @amandaparedesmed
      @amandaparedesmed 3 месяца назад

      Hi! I personally loved the course. I am not sponsored or anything like that lol but I truly thought it was great. That being said, you can get an excellent MCAT score using less costly resources. You could always start off with Kaplan or Princeton books and see how it goes. If it’s not your cup of tea, you can go with the MSI course. But in short, yes, I recommend it, but it’s by no means necessary to score well.

      @LuckyYouDude 3 месяца назад

      @@amandaparedesmed Thank you so much Amanda for your response. Honestly, I am not big on reading and reading book after book, and see what sticks. The most excited feature of this course to me was that it seems to be "straight to the point" no more or no less material wise to score well on MCAT. Since I am also enrolling in a post-bac program, I think this course will help me save time at the end. I will make sure to let them know that I heard about the course from you, may be you will be their spokesperson hahah...Thank you so much again! I was so excited and happy when I watched this video about your acceptances. It made me realize that there is light at the end of the tunnel..!

    • @amandaparedesmed
      @amandaparedesmed 3 месяца назад

      Yes, you can submit the primary without mcat and without LORs. MCAT and LORs are considered part of your secondary application. You can technically submit until Oct/Nov but I would strongly recommend against that. You’d want your MCAT and LORs to be submitted by July or early August at the latest to give yourself the best shot
