Wamc
Okay, I have a dilemma. I have my bachelors degree in veterinary science and all the pre reqs for vet school from a university. My overall GPA was 2.8. I have clinical experience in small animal/exotic with about 7,000 hours of experience as a veterinary assistant/tech and surgical assistant as well.
I have farm experience as I grew up on a beef farm that was also a dairy farm. I have had two strong vet
recommendations, a genetics professors recommendation, and an advisor (also DVM)...

Study plan for 9-10 months of studying
I am an RN currently in a formal post-bac program and planning on applying to next cycle (2025-2026 cycle) so I still have another year-ish to go. I work per diem, do research and volunteer and am trying to consider all of these in my study plan for the MCAT.
My current plan is to take the MCAT in April/May 2025 and apply for that cycle. I will be finishing my post-bac that Mayand will be taking Physics 2, Human Heredity (bascially genetics) and physiology during that final semester...

Taking easy class in summer
This summer, I'm planning to take Genetics, but I've been thinking about taking an intro Art class as well. This is a notoriously easy class, one that you can get an A+ without attending a single lecture. I was wondering whether any med schools might look at this unfavorably as some kind of GPA booster. The thing is, I'm not taking this just for a small GPA boost. That certainly doesn't hurt, but to use my university's on-campus gym (which is free) in the summer, you have to be registered as...

Applied this past cycle and only got 1 interview (yet to hear back but chances of acceptance are low). I'm prepping to re-apply and would love advice on how to improve my application based on my current "stats"

As a transfer, is taking pre-reqs at my previous university ok?
Hello, I transferred to Cornell from UMass Amherst. I'm currently a sophomore. I am currently taking physics, and plan on taking organic chemistry 1 and 2 (lectures only) over the summer at UMass. My plan is to take Cornell orgo lab during junior fall, and also biochem/genetics/etc at Cornell. Is this ok? My logic is that prestige doesn't matter, and that my Gen bio/Gen chem/stat/calc 1 grades are already from UMass.
Here are a few more questions I have:
