Look, friend...I'm sorry to have gotten on my soapbox and spouted frustrations with the programs.
Here's the deal...I'm not saying that you didn't have your reasons for getting whatever GPA you got in undergrad. What I'm saying is that the course load is exponentially heavier when you get here, and issues aside, you'll just have to make the grades.
I've gone through more information and learned more in a semester of pod school than probably two years of undergrad, and I went to a science-heavy university. The information here isn't difficult, it's just a ridiculous amount, and it absolutely needs to be a priority for it to work.
If this is actually your dream, and you're not just looking for the next thing after undergrad, then with a decent (mid to upper 20's) MCAT, you'll most likely get in somewhere. If you don't, then if you're willing to take the effort to excel at pod school, I must assume that you'd be willing to take an extra semester or so if this admissions cycle doesn't pan out and bust your butt taking some intense science classes to demonstrate to admissions committees that this is what you want to do. The trend is the most important thing they look at. Good trend = good chances.
I truly understand having issues with undergrad, and trying to figure out life, dealing with family, financial, relationship and personal issues. It's additionally a mountain to climb, trying to alter 4 years of prior bad performances with good grades, a semester at a time. The numbers just don't want to go up. If this is what you want, though, then you've got to be sure enough to bet a few hundred thousand dollars on it. The last thing you want to do is not put in enough effort and wind up not passing your boards, and just sitting around with a mountain of debt and nothing to pay it with. Personal issues don't mean squat when you've got an exam a week, and 100+ dense pages of stuff to memorize for each, and be able to apply it in a second or third order exam question.
Anyway...best of luck. Really.
