Unless you are URM and have a great MCAT, the answer is no. Is all hope lost? No. You need to do some heavy GPA repair. Utilize the DO grade replacement and retake courses you have C's in to bring your GPA up. If you pull your GPA up to >=3.3 and score 28+ on MCAT then you would be competative for DO programs.

So by retaking the Classes, you mean that Medical school are not going to turn me down. do Withdrawals affect my chances?

Are you a freshman? If so, you have plenty of time to improve your GPA and become competitive for med schools.

Withdrawals do not have an effect on your GPA, but there could be consequences if you drop to less than full-time student status.

Not with that GPA. Re-taking those classes with a higher grade helps you for DO schools. Even if you're a URM, I think most schools would be doing you a disservice by accepting you. Medical school is HARD!

No, even if you are URM.

Not true, even if you're a URM that 2.8 won't work out even if you're MCAT is high.
