I had a horrible freshman year of college, I was going through some medical issues along with an abusive relationship, as well as some family problems. These obviously making it hard to concentrate on school, I ended my freshman year, academically suspended, with a 1.8 cGPA (ouch).
However I have made some major improvements in my life. I am no longer going through any of the previous issues, and I managed to end my sophomore year of college with a 3.2 cGPA. (I had 2, 4.0 semesters, yay)
I still have at least 2-3 more years until I get an undergraduate, so I still have some time to move that bar higher, and I obviously have not taken the MCAT yet.
I have some okay EC's; Nursing Aide at a Hospital 1+year, Group Home work 6 months, and I have over 600 volunteer hours at a hospital where I held both leadership and advisory positions.
I would like to know what are my chances on getting into an MD program, and even moving on to a surgery specialty?
