Long story short I am a Canadian student. We have zero requirements to enter medical school here. I am missing half a semester of physics, half a semester of orgo,a full year of english and I have to re take one of my chem because I got a 55 in first year. Worth applying this round?

I am eligible to apply for many schools as some are Canadian friendly ( New York Medical for example). I am asking if it is even worth applying now.

Looks like he already answered you.

Ideas of post bacc to certificate to complete pre reqs?

1) you dont have most prereqs so what are the schools going to evaluate on ? without a solid BCPM GPA you will be SOL
2) How will do well on the MCAT to be accepted but how can you do well on the exam without many of the prereqs
3) you failed chem with a 55 so how do you think applying with that will look?
4) Yes many schools are Canadian friendly but even so, you still have to be an outstanding student to be accepted to any medical school and even more so as a non US citizen.

So in sum applying this round would be a waste of time, effort and money

And my sGPA as of right now is low as I only took a few in my first year which are low. I got 510. Any course about a 60 should be taken again correct?

In US schools it would be 70 or 75

What is a C in the US?

Ok well then I need to take a few more courses then. Post bacc route?

A C is roughly a 70-74.

Even if you retake the courses, your original grades will still be included in GPA calculations.

How should one try to mitigate grade damage then?
