<p>^Not the end of the world at all!
Statement 'BS/MD programs usually set the GPA requirements much lower than 3.5. There wouldn’t be much of an advantage going the BS/MD route if you had a maintain a 3.5. The bar is usually set at 3.2 or 3.0. " is incorrect. There are many advanatages even be in program that requires MCAT.<br>
- having normal UG experience when everybody around is panicky about their Med. School chances,
- taking MCAT with the knowledge that all you need is 27 will make you score much higher,
- going to interviews (if decided to apply out) while already been accepted to one Med. School makes you much more “normal” person than regular “trembling” Med. school applicant. You actually might enjoy your interview visit, focus on learning more about school.</p>
