Right now I'm feeling a bit discouraged from my original plan from applying for med school this coming June but I just want to confirm if it's still worth a try. I'm open to SMPs or post baccs as well.
As of now I'm currently studying for the MCAT this coming January and my practice scores on the aamc tests are coming up nicely. My most recent score was a 505. I'm starting to feel increasingly confident of reaching my desired score once the test cycle reopens.
My problem however is my GPA. Much of it was due to class retakes and since DO schools no longer do that grade replacement policy, that put a huge dent in my GPA after recalculating everything.
In addition to my MCAT studies I'm also basically being an learning assistant for with my friend's father who is an internist for around 100 hours. He let's me participate and learn than just observe. I'm thinking of using the experience to become a scribe in the near future once I get my hours done.
