How to Get into Medical School with a Low GPA

You don’t have to let a low GPA keep you out of medical school How would you feel if I told you that, at this very moment, the odds are quite good that somewhere in the US there is a student in medical school who was accepted with a lower GPA than yours? Would it give you a sense hope and possibility that there’s still a chance for you? It should, because getting into medical school with a low GPA happens more often than you think. As a medical school admissions consultant, I see it happen often.   While getting into medical school with a low GPA is certainly possible, it does not happen by chance. It only happens when admissions committees see something in the applicant that causes them to discount the significance of the poor grades. For this applicant, the GPA is not viewed as a disqualifying factor, but rather, an aberration in an otherwise obviously capable applicant’s profile.   Of course, getting into medical school with a low GPA is not easy. In fact, it’s incredibly difficult.
