Hey everyone! I'm new here. I used to be a Psych major, but I was unable to complete my degree due to health problems. I kept trying to complete it through a few years of health problems (to stay on my dad's health insurance). This, unfortunately, wrecked my GPA. I dropped from 3.5 to 2.5.
Soon, I hope to have a transplant, which SHOULD eliminate interference from my poor health.
My questions are:
1) Is it even remotely possible to get into med school with a 2.5?
2) If I take more classes (to finish my degree and get all my science pre-req's) and increase my GPA to a 3.0-3.5, would med schools still burn my transcript when they saw my really bad semesters, or would they give me a shot and actually find out why I had such deplorable semesters?
3) I have heard that if I transfer to another school, I will get a "fresh start" on my GPA because only my credits would transfer and not my grades. Would the med schools see it this way, or would they still want my other transcript?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
