Posted by AN11 on March 11, 2017, 1:08 am
Hi, Can I get some background info on my chances of gettting into an AA grad program? I am a senior at Emory University with a 3.2 overall Gpa and a 2.9 science Gpa (first four semesters of college were my worst but my last 3 semesters have been my best so upward trend). I played varsity soccer my freshman year as well as am in involved in many clubs and volunteering around campus. My GRE scores are Verbal 153 (60th percentile), Quantitative 160 (76th percentile), and Analyticsl Writing 5.0 (93th percentile). Would be much appreciated for some back up information. Sorry just freaking out/getting a little nervous lol thanks!!!!

Your GPA is on the low side, but your GRE scores could make up for it. I would research the schools though, because some of them only accept the MCAT. As good as extracurricular activities are, admission boards are more interested to see dedication to the profession. I would try to get a job in a patient care setting. I would also try to get at least 50+ hours of Anesthesiologist shadowing. They want to see that you know that anesthesia is for you, and that you aren't just applying because you couldn't get into medical school. Good luck!
