Hello,
I have 2.7 GPA from 4 year school which I did horrible and tried to retake majority of science classes but ended up with Cs. Before, I was in a community college and did horrible but retook majority of classes and got 3.2 GPA. I have 2.9 GPA just calculating the prereq for med school from both CC and university which was done by using a random online calculator.
I am done with my degree in chemistry BA this August 2014. I am going to take MCAT in Oct 25, 2014 and study the 3 months prior. Depending on how I do, I will continue to try and pursue career in medicine as either DO or MD. I have considered caribbean medical schools but thats a last resort. As mentioned if I perform well on the MCATs this Oct. I will continue by pursuit.
Is my approach severely flawed? Should I try another approach to my future? Should I cancel my MCAT exam? Is there anyway to salvage anything?
Also, I havent done any clinical volunteering. I am trying to set up clinical volunteering as I am writing this. but so far I am being put on waiting lists.
I have read stories on this forum about non trad students who were able to turn around their bad grades by doing DIY post bacc. If I go down this route should I just retake the prereq? retake the advanced courses? Retake both?
