I'm graduating this spring with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience. I know a 2.9 science gpa is far from great, but I have an upward trend starting my junior and senior year. During my first 2 years of undergrad i fooled around too much and didn't take school seriously. Now I am seriously pursuing my dream of working in the medical field. The problem is I'm not sure what I want to do. Becoming a DO has become very interesting to me, but I don't have the grades to get accepted. My adviser told me that retaking classes is not worth the hassle and I should look into Accelerated Nursing Programs since I have taken all of the prereqs. I have shadowed an MD for one summer and I plan on volunteering at my local hospital upon graduation to get more clinical experience. I haven't taken the mcat yet either, but I might take it this summer if I decide DO. Also, not that this matters, but I'm a male and I've been told that I would stand out more as a male Accelerated Nursing candidate. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading this and best of luck in your careers in medicine!
