Hello

So I graduated 2019 and then decided I wanted to try become a doctor. At the time I really didn’t know what I wanted to do and this combined with about 20 ED visits and 3 surgeries led to a low GPA. I have retaken classes and am hoping to apply next cycle but I need some advice if it would be worth it to apply MD.
My Undergrad gpa was a 2.75
I got my gpa up to a over 3.34 and a science gpa of 3.6
I’m taking the mcat soon and all my fl are around 513.
Thank for any help!

I’m from Illinois. Yes I would apply May 2021. I have worked as a scribe, medical assistant. Have about 200 shadow hours MD and DO. Volunteering in hospice, at a children’s museum, camp for kids with cancer and with Gigi’s playhouse around 150 hours.
