I'm sure this question gets asked all the time, so I'm sorry for the redundancy and length of this post. I know there are many threads on this topic, but I couldn't find one that recent.
I'm a 25 year old (white) male. Graduated with a B.S. in psych with premed prereqs in 2012. GPA 2.9 (I ****ed around too much my freshman year and paid for it). No MCAT yet.
Currently I'm a paramedic (Also, would that count as patient contact hours or would I also need to volunteer somewhere?). I have plenty former coworkers that have gone on to nursing or PA school. However, I have always had a desire to be a physician. My grades turned me off of that a bit, but recently my passion has been rekindled due to a personal loss, and I'm willing to take whatever steps necessary to fulfill that dream.
So as far post-bacc or SMP goes, what are the pros/cons of someone in my situation? Any advice on where to go or look?
Thanks so much in advance, any and all advice is really appreciated!
