I recently turned 26 and am restarting my undergrad education after 7 years with the intention of applying to med school (hence why I'm posting here) 
I went into an ambitious engineering program immediately after HS when I was 18 and was severely unprepared. The school used a 10-week quarter system which was quite accelerated, combined with my immaturity, lack of solid study habits, etc. resulted in my academic termination from the school.
Since then, I've gone to massage therapy school and have been working as a therapist which was my first real experience in a clinical setting working with patients.
Rutgers University required me to do the last two semesters at CC where I took Chem and Bio along with retaking calculus courses since it had been 8 years. I achieved managing a 4.0 for both semesters.
I will be doing my best to maintain this through the next 2-3 years but is my termination 8(10 by the time I apply) years ago going to be a big red flag? Thank you for any advice you can provide!
