Hi Maggie! Love your channel! Do you have links or resources where I can see the products you used for the apartment home decor (rugs, under tv cabinets, etc)? Thanks! You inspire me!!😊

Hello Maggie. Been watching your content for 2+ years since I decided to be a doctor, and submitted my primary application for medical school :) I was really wanting to ask about acceptance with a low GPA, specifically if I should be worried? Got a 3.18 cc GPA and a 3.4 science GPA after a 3.95 post bac with a strong upward GPA. Freshman and sophomore GPA were really bad, but got a 3.89 GPA from my university after transferring. Got a 507 MCAT second attempt with a low CARS. Realistically, should I be worried about not having a shot at an allopathic medical school? Sorry for the load of information, and congrats on all your successes. Your content is inspiring a lot of people :)

Sounds like you have a GREAT upward trend! As long as you took upper level science courses in the post bac, it sounds like you have done all that you can GPA wise that is in your control. You can definitely get accepted with those stats and the next step would be to look at all the other aspects of your application and improve any other weaknesses. For me it was adding in clinical experience because when I first applied I didn't have any! Best of luck! :)

@@itslifebymaggie hello Maggie! Thank you for the encouragement and support - I’ll be sure to update you :) you’re gonna be a great physician, it’s so evident through the work you’ve put in. My AMCAS application has been verified, but I didn’t know how GPA’s were calculated for each semester. Though the last 90 units have been a 3.8 for me, I have another 100 units that averaged lower earlier on, so the GPA distribution isn’t good and only shows for my Senior and Postbacc GPA on the AMCAS application. Initially, I thought the junior and senior GPA’s would be based off the credits I earned and excelled in when I transferred to university - I know it’s a lot of information, but regardless of how the numbers appear on the AMCAS, there is still a strong upward trend and I’ll keep my faith! Sincerely, thank you for the response and encouragement!

Also, unfortnately I was wrong about the science GPA. The science GPA through AACOMAS (DO application) is a 3.4. For AMCAS, it's a 2.99 though, which puts me just barely below a 3.00. My post bacc counselor said he would send an email letter to my medical list in regards to me due to that cutoff GPA. I'll continue the prospects though.
