Hello I am a recent college graduate. I doubled majored in Public Health and Women's and Gender Studies with a 3.4 GPA. I have a plethora of clinical experience and am bilingual (fluent in Spanish because I am Hispanic).
My science GPA is exceptionally low though and I applied to three post-bacc programs and was rejected. I also have not completed the medical school class requirements. I asked the programs for feedback and they told me I was primarily rejected because of my very low science GPA. One of the admissions officers asked me why my GPA was low and I informed him that it was because of family problems and a bout of subsequent depression as a result of those problems.
So my question is where can I apply to bolster my science GPA?
I want to attend programs in the Northeast (if there are any programs that will accept me with a very low GPA).
I dont mind whether I am a DO or MD. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
As an aside, I have spoken to several doctors who gave informed me that because I am an underrepresented "minority" that there are programs that I can easily get into. I have done research and have not found these said programs. So if any of you could shed light on that also that would be great.
