How To Get Into Medical School With A Low GPA

In this video you’ll learn how you can apply to med school and get in with a low GPA. Students often wonder how to get into medical school with a low GPA. Do we think that GPA is the be-all, end-all of your academic abilities? No, certainly not. In fact, we at BeMo believe that GPA and MCAT should not be used at any stage of the admissions process, let alone to weed out applicants in the initial stages of the selection process. If we could, we would abolish every kind of standardized test and situational judgement test out there. But the current medical school admissions practitioners think differently. So why is GPA really important for medical schools? Simply because that’s the current measurement of our academic abilities - or in other others, because we are told so.
Creating back-up plans doesn’t remove the fact that you need to also ace your final year. If you have a 3.6 GPA in your first three years and your fourth year is even better, you have a higher chance of sneaking in with an offer after 4th year than if you just keep humming along getting the same grades as before. Many medical schools pay attention to progress and GPA increase over the years, so make sure to demonstrate improvements in your transcript. Take our study advice above. Again, you'll have to make sure that your application is outstanding. Consider scheduling a session with an academic advisor or a medical school advisor to make your application as strong as it can be.
While a low GPA is never ideal, it can become less of a disadvantage if you know how to address it in your application materials. Turn your story of initial academic disappointment into a narrative about growth and resilience. If you have taken the remedial steps outlined above and gained better grades as a result, you have demonstrated the ability to address problems in a mature and responsible way. Above all else, you need to emphasize is what you learned from these challenges: talk about what improving your academic performance has taught you in terms of self-improvement, better time management, good study habits, etc. Showing the admissions committee or interviewer that you are capable of self-reflection and performing necessary corrective measures reveal your determination to succeed. Make sure that these are the qualities you draw attention to when discussing a low GPA.

I used to think GPA is the first thing they use to screen out. once your GPA is low then you do not have a chance
