I graduated december 2013 from undergrad (pre-med degree) and started law school on january 2014, knowing that I would most likely get rejected to med school, which I was in all of my local choices (only interviewed in one, since I was cutoff by GPA in the other 2). Got accepted into UAG (Mexico), but don't really want to go there now that I think about it.

Anyway I started law school and Im not sure if it will help on my GPA since it is grad school and when med schools see that Im already in law school maybe they will disregard my application.

I dont really want to retake the MCAT and the worst part of all would be getting those LOR's. How do applicants who have spent years away from school manage to get those? It was hard enough for me while still in college, can't imagine now that I graduated.

While we see your law school GPA, we ignore it.
If LORs are problematic, you might wat to take some science coursework at the local CC to get to know some porfessors who will write new LORs
A problem for you will be answering this question: Why apply to schools if you have no intention of going?

You might be at a disadvantage if you didn't apply to DO programs while applying to the Mexican school. Shows us you're more interested in the MD after your name than in being a doctor.

I was not familiar with DO programs. Tbh I still dont really undertand the difference between DO and MD. Only know that DO is easier to get into

That implies at the time you didn't do your homework. Time to start. The Pre-DO forum here is a good place to do that.
