Hi there, looking for any help. I graduated from Rutgers with a BA in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry and a minor in Psychology from Rutgers University. My cumulative and science were both roughly 3.0. My grades were Physics (A, A), Physics Lab (A, A), Chemistry (B, C+), Chem Lab (B), Biology (B, B) with lab included, Organic Chemistry (B, B), Organic Chemistry Lab (B), Genetics (A), Genetics Lab (A+), etc.. I know I need to take the MCAT and get above a certain score and I intend on doing that. The only thing is that it's been five years since I graduated (I know I'm a bum). What should I do at this point? Do I need to repeat courses at a community college? Should I just go to a pre-med program at a Caribbean medical school? Or would taking the MCAT be almost my first priority? Also, should I starting working in some kind of medical profession like a nurse or in the military?

If you're trying to get into a Caribbean school, I would just take a review course and then take the MCAT.
