Next, bolster your transcript. Demonstrating a consistent upward trend in your GPA is essential. If you’ve already graduated, consider taking 1-2 years for a post-bacc or special master’s program–preferably one offered at a medical school.
But don’t take these programs lightly. Solid performance is a must.
Next, strengthen your experiences and extracurriculars. Every applicant will have completed volunteering, gained clinical exposure, and done some level of research.
By pursuing extracurriculars that you enjoy and developing yourself as a person, you can stand out to admissions committees and show them you’re more than just your numbers.
Lastly, consider DO schools, and then Caribbean MD schools. These schools are much more forgiving for low GPAs with an upward trend. That being said, it’s crucial to understand the pros and cons of each one.
