I am a college graduate from a 2nd tier school.
I graduated with a 2.7 GPA and a lot of extra circulars. I just wasn't ready for college at the age of 18 but managed to pull great grades my junior and senior year of college.

I am now interested in pursuing medicine however I can. I did not get into Post-Bacc programs that I applied to.

I am considering my options now. Do I take classes as a Special Student at a local college to raise my GPA and then apply to an SMP? What should my route look like now?
Any other advice for me?

Thank you!
 
Hi. First, cross-posting the same thread in different forums isn't allowed.

Second, you got some answers already on your other thread.

Third, if you post in the pre-DO forum, all your answers are likely going to be "grade replacement --> DO" anyway because that's the best way you have to get into 1) a DO school and 2) medical school in general.
