Hi, I am currently 23 years old. I am a hospice RN currently. I am on track to finish my BSN this coming December. Right now I have a GPA of exactly 3.50. I am considering the possibility of med school. I once was pre med so as far as pre reqs go I am only 3 chemistry classes off the mark. I am looking for any advice on how to set myself up best to get accepted into medical school if I chose to do it. Thanks.

Do really well in those 3 chemistry courses. 3.5 isn't that bad, assuming everything else in your application is good. If you can get A's in those 3 chemistry class you should be fine. A lot of it will come down to having a good school list.
You’ll need to study hard for the MCAT, and accumulate volunteer hours and shadowing.
Post-bacc for those 3 classes. Your gpa still won’t be competitive for MD (median matriculants gpa is 3.71-3.73), but very competitive for DO programs.
