Question.... I was a former P.A. major and I switched back to Computer science. I graduate in Dec 07

I have a couple of c's (One in Bio 2) Two D's (orgo and Bio 1 dont ask y bio) F(pharmocology simply because I didnt study drug names) Everything else is A's and B's. However, I repeated Bio 1 and 2 last semester and I got Both A's Im going to take over Orgo 1 and 2 and Then take Phyics. Im prepared to buss my A$$ to get all A's in every course. My gpa should be over a 3.0 after graduation and completion of pre-reqs. (2.96 as of now)

There are many factors that contributed to my not so impressive work such as extra curriculars (Baseball, pledging, working full time @ a hospital) WHEN I get my gpa up over 3.0 and atleast high 20's maybe even a 30 do you think I have a chance at acceptance?

Btw, I was waitlisted for p.a. school....
 

yea you have a chance.
first you need to replace every D and F. even some of the C's if you can.
im not going to lie, your gpa is pretty low. and a very negative aspect of your application.
your mcat is your key to success. think of it as a balance. and right now you are on the reject side BUT with a good mcat score (i would aim for 28+) then the balance will be a bit more even.
with an interview and even on the 2ndry apps you can explain yourself.
if you honestly want this, then don't give up and i think , yes you most def. have a chance.
