Hey, I was going to UBC for a little while, but I ended up getting an illness. Now because of this illness, my first two and a half years (I've finished 73 credits out of 120 for a BSc) there are terrible. I couldn't focus, and my average is 60. I know I have the ability to get into the high 80's now that I'm feeling better. I contacted UBC and they said however that they cannot clear my past grades, and I struggle to see how I can get into med school's considerations if I have an average of just above 70 ( assuming I get around 80 percent on the remaining credits I have to do). I know the University of Calgary has this thing called diverse qualifications, where they let in people who have overcome hardships, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get into there, or have the funds to move. What other options do I have?

Thanks in advance.
