Hi Everyone,
I'm fairly new to SDN but I check the forums looking for others in my situation, and I haven't found any solid advice about my particular dilemma.
I recently graduated as a biology/psychology double major. I did poorly in my biology classes so my sGPA is a 1.92 and my cUGPA is a 2.713. Unfortunately I have a taken all of my pre-reqs for Med school, so there are very little new classes for me to enroll in to increase my science GPA.
I am not sure whether I should start all over and retake all of my sciences...financial aid at my school won't cover repeats, but I know that I need to repeat the classes that I made a C or less in.
To be honest, I feel very stuck in my situation. I basically graduated with a subpar GPA and a degree that doesn't offer very many job options. Since I was a little child, I've always wanted to work in medicine and excelled in my science courses until undergrad. I would say the downward trend wasn't due to my ability to perform well, but my lack of effort and lack of confidence in science courses at my school.
Being an OB/GYN has always been my goal and still is I'm willing to take the time to increase my grade work, but I'm just lost and confused about how to proceed...
