Sure, you could get in with a 2.2. If, that is, you spent two years setting up a free clinic in remote Rwanda; you did research with three different Nobel laureates; your father has a high ratio of net worth to ejection fraction; you have a letter of recommendation from William Osler himself, despite his being long dead; and you happen to be a blonde with big knockers who can skillfully service the Admissions Committee under the table.
Judging from your comments in other threads, none of this should be any problem for you.
So what’s the problem with bivalves? They’re cold, gray, often mucous-slimy and slippery. But c’mon. They don’t change color unless they’re dead, then the stench and green tinge give 'em away. And it isn’t like the dying and rotting thing was exactly deliberate.
Just an observation: as (genetic quirk) a white woman my own self, I prefer innocently putrid bivalves over cowardly, hiding-rot-behind-the-pixels idiots.
The white wimmins is here…and they’re fleeing along with every other sentinent life form.
And a 45 MCAT. And you don’t happen to like pesky “US accredited medical schools.” And if you were a four year starting quarterback for for the Division I NCAA champions who cloned a novel tyrosine kinase receptor involved in 30% of breast cancer.
Two words – snowball and hell. Not if the medical school is in the USA. The average GPA of even the lowest rung osteopathic schools is well above 3.0 (not that osteopathic schools are all bad). You may be able to get into a podiatry program or chiropracty school with some good extracurricular activities.
We do have students here that have, at one point, had 2.2 GPAs. They have made 180 degree turns and gone back to school and aced. They ended up with a 3.3-3.6 with some great life experiences, and good MCATs.
"Well, today in out Dermatology class we are very fortunate to have with us a Mr. Smithwow. Observe how his skin color can change drastically depending on how pathetic his arguments are.
How he can instantaneously become Nigerian and revert back to Texan is still beyond our scope of understanding."
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…let’s just string a few seemingly unrelated facts together…
a) Smithwow is in Texas
b) Noted conservative newsweekly runs an article on reference-type websites, citing the SDMB as an amusing and informative example
c) Governor Bush is currently sitting around his ranch with mucho free time on his hands while Cheney and the other aides plan out the new Reich, and he can’t weedwhack ALL day long
d) Rambling, incoherent posts delineating random racist terrors begin appearing this week
This quote made my day- I love it! I’m picturing his head floating around in a big fromaldehyde filled jar and him thinking “I knew I could get in if I just tried hard enough!”
Now, class, we have a very interesting specimen for you. The very first human chameleon. He can change colors in a matter of moments to blend with the surroundings, he can blend in anywhere from Texas to Nigeria.
