Hi SDN.
I am a current third year undergrad. How do I convince my very controlling parents that I need to do a post bacc before entering med school. I did really bad my freshman year, but I learned from my mistake and it has been an upward trend. However, at the end of the day my gpa is not good enough for any med schools except maybe a low end D.O. They want me to take the MCAT literally in two months when I havent even prepared enough for it/taken all the classes necessary for it. My resume is not even built up enough. I'm striving for a good med school(that is why I want to do the post bacc because I know I deserve a good school) but they say that they won't pay my university fees if I don't apply this cycle.
I don't know what to do. I guess at the end of the day they cannot force me to take the MCAT but I am still so confused on how to deal with this situation.
