I feel like I have no hope… I have not taken my MCAT yet and have a ton of EC and plan to do more since I am graduating from PSU and will have some free time.

sGPA: 2.86
cGPA: 3.19
 
My previous sGPA was 2.71 but I retook some of my "C" science classes to bump it up.

Retake more C science classes and bring your sGPA above 3.0. Also do well on the MCAT (>28). If you do that and apply early and broadly, you'll get in somewhere. Many of us (myself included) had as low or lower GPAs coming out of undergrad. 2nd yr med student right now.

It's very doable and would probably take you less than a year.
