2 questions:

Should I have any reason to think that having to complete a mail service-bacc program (academic record enhancing kind) volition brand me less competitive for the ivy league schools? Am I doomed by my undergrad stats?

I am a black female with a iii.1 undergrad gpa and 27s mcat. btw I got into a Do schoolhouse and im waiting to hear the outcome from interviews at 2 allopathic schools. Should I even call back near a post bacc or go for the DO school?

No. I think anything that demonstrates that your ability to practise well in graduate work will only help you lot. I was once told though that it could hurt you likewise if you lot don't keep at least a 3.v in graduate piece of work. Every bit for the Ivy league, are you trying to go into an ivy league school? I don't think that they would look downwardly on your graduate work. I had a friend with me in my postbacc (enhancing kind) that did go on to an Ivy League school.

I remember if you lot're doing graduate piece of work in an attempt to better upon or brand up for your boilerplate/poor undergrad operation, and then it may hurt your chances at existence accepted at ivy leagues, not to say that it's impossible, Im certain top schools accept taken people with post bacc or grad work, but I've heard that some schools are more detail about letting in not-trads as opposed to accepting straight college grads....simply if you've done or are doing a post-bacc and are determined enough, Im sure you can arrive to the ivy leagues!

Haha, bump your GPA upward from a 3.1 to a 3.8? Is that even mathematically possible afterwards 4 years? How many classes does that crave?

for the physics is General Physics I and General Physics Ii sufficient to ace (or do really well on) the physics department on the MCAT?

What farther courses can you have to make you a principal for the physics department?
