Advice for MCAT & applications
I’m a recent bachelor’s grad that would appreciate any advice and inspiration from my fellow premeds. I walked in May of 2025 with a 2.72 final CGPA and had to save up to finish the remaining credits in spring of 2026. I had a rough few years in undergrad and I was irresponsible about my grades.
I tool the MCAT once in April 2025 and did really poorly with a 482, but I know I did not study properly for it. Since that point in my life, a lot has changed and I have tried as hard as I could with my circumstances to turn it around. My last semester in undergrad, I got a 4.0 GPA and made the deans list, I was able to pull my CGPA up to 3.01 (B.Sc. Biology, Concentration in Bioinformatics, Minor in computational data science). I really dont want to give up on my dream of med school; MD, DO, DPM it doesnt matter.
I recently started working full time in the IT field and am making roughly 60k, and am trying to figure out the best route to do things in order to make it into med school. I often struggle with prolonged periods of studying and maintaining focus, and I feel as though I need to start from the ground up for preparation. I want to be a provider for others and my own loved ones, and I just need some advice pointing to the right direction.
Thank you guys for taking the time to read through my ted talk. Any words are appreciated (honesty especially). If theres any other information needed Id be happy to add, thank you all.
