Summary of Application Experience

Yes thats right I'm only applying to 2 schools, this is due to my very low GPA. Honestly its even lower than I indicated, thats a best case scenario GPA. I'm projected to make a 30+ on the MCAT so thats why I'm still applying at all this cycle. If I get in to neither school, which I am very much prepared to experience. I will do a post-bacc program then apply to a much broader list of schools which include, UAMS and even Vanderbilt ( I know its a LONG SHOT but this is my dream school). I'm really upset with myself about my GPA because I'm definitely smart enough (just like most other premeds in my situation) to ~3.75 but I definitely never studied like I should. Now I'm looking at being a 2010 applicant and having to take lots of classes over. I just wish I had the fervency I have now back when I was taking all these classes.
