<p>D2 has finished her gap years. (She did 2 since her employment contract required a minimum of a 2 year commitment.) She worked FT as a clinical study coordinator/clinical research asst for a Top 10 med school. She also did some work (in influenza epidemiology) for the Dept of Public Health in the state where she was working. </p>
<p>She applied this current cycle (allopathic only) and received multiple acceptances. She’ll start med school this fall.</p>
<p>My bad, I assumed your bad grade (from your UR posts) was in physics. </p>
<p>Even with your new grades, your GPA is still low for allopathic medical schools. According to MSAR, for the 2012-13 cycle , the average GPA/sGPA for accepted applicants was 3.68; MCAT was 33. If your metrics are not in the 25-75 %ile range for your state med schools, you may be facing a rough cycle for allopathic schools. </p>
<p>AACOMAS calculates its GPAs differently than AMCAS**. Be sure you use their calculator to see what difference that makes in your GPA/sGPA.</p>
<p>** AACOMAS doesn’t include math in the sGPA, but will include all other sciences like astronomy or geology.</p>
