I started undergrad at a UC as a Bio student but long story short things didn't work out and I'm about to graduate in a totally different major. I'm planning on retaking the prerequisites (I either didn't take or didn't do well in most prereqs, although I did great in some classes like intro-Bio series) but based on the things I've been reading online, it seems as if MD schools are heavily focused on your total GPA or your screw ups from when you were a stupid 17 year old.
My question is, if I do significantly well when retaking these classes, will MD schools be more interested in that and adopt a somewhat forgiving approach towards my first undergrad stint? Or will they still be hung up about total GPA etc, in which case I imagine I should stick to looking at DO schools?
