I got an accounting degree as a D1 baseball player at a big school and finished with a 3.03 Cgpa and a 3.4sgpa while dealing with 3 major surgeries and both parents had stage 3 and 4 cancers. I then completed a premed Postbacc at a state school consisting of every prerequisite course (46 credits all science) and got a 3.97. Bringing my overall to a 3.28cgpa and 3.85sgpa. I have been averaging a 523 on my FL’s (take the real one may 9th). I will have 600ish clinical hours, 875 volunteer, 980 research with a first author publication where I created a new combinatorial chemotherapy and radiant cancer drug, abstract and solo poster, 75 shadowing hours, and the 5500 athletics hours. Have the 3 prof LORS, 2 MD, my research PI and 2 D1 head coaches. Will this be enough or will the CGPA weigh me down too much if I can score around my FL average?
