Brief Profile:
Pretty standard volunteering and shadowing. Also an RA, choir member and in NROTC.
My GPA went up but when I applied it was around a 3.24. I'm using the 3.33 GPA here because my senior grades are part of the reason I was accepted.
Degree was in Biomedical Engineering. BCPM GPA should have been higher but I didn't realize we were supposed to classify classes based on content not department. (a lot of my engineering courses should have been classified as physics, biology, etc)
