Hey,

I was wondering if my chances at a DO or MD are over.

I got a 1.955 gpa first semester and will be getting around a 3.1 this semester with an overall that should be between a 2.65-2.7.

my first semester grades were horrendous bc i was focused on someone I liked and they used me and I just screwed up by doing their work.

I am half Hispanic is that helps.
First semester grades:
Gen chem 1: D.
Gen chem 1 Lab: B-
Bio 1: C
Bio Lab: A-
Calc 1: C
Spanish : C

GPA: 1.955

second semester (this semester)

Gen chem 1: B or B- (retook online screwed me over first test bc I screwed up first test and second test. past two tests were 95-109%
Calc 2: B
Bio 2: B- or C+ (doubt)
Bio Lab: A
English: A
Religion: B+/A-

I am taking gen chem 2 over the summer

my sophomore yr first semester looks like this

Genetics
Ochem 1
Bio Journalism
Physics 1
Physics Lab
Gen chem 2 lab
English
Philosophy or History

I always wanted to go to medical school and become a doctor. I have an excuse for what happened freshman year and I know if someone responds I'm going to get scolded. But basically I was infatuated and focused on them but not me and this is just another lousy stupid excuse and I'm the only one to blame. I talked with my dean and counselors at my school and they always say I am very smart and I just don't apply myself. I have been hearing this since high school but I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

My gpa after this semester should be around a 2.7-2.8 if I plugged everything in correctly (freshman year).
I'd be more than happy to go to DO.

Biggest advice is that do not take Ochem and Physics together next semester---they are both really time intensive and you could end up screwing yourself over again
