It's your call.I'm actually good with physics- I think it would help my GPAs.

What if I went back and got a second bachelors (I'm interested in physics)? A physics bachelors would allow me to improve my science GPA and work on more ECs.

You're just applying now. What did you plan to do for the 12-13 months before you matriculated????I'm at a loss as to how to proceed- I graduate this Summer and I have no prospects. My major is not even a traditional major (it's interdisciplinary) and I don't know if I'll even find a decent job, let alone one where I could take coursework. I thought most crappy jobs are 9-5- how do you fit coursework in there?
I'm not trying to get out of hard work but nothing proposed seems feasible.

Did you already have a job lined up? Does it require hours that conflict with a school day?Work, obviously.
Your general disdain for getting a job had me confusedWork, obviously.
I just did an entire postbac sequence over the course of four years while working a really busy full time startup tech job. I had to move to a new city to be able to attend courses at night while working. If you want to go to med school, you can do it! Gonna be a lot of hard work and you'll have to really commit. If it seems too hard for you, it might just be. Good luck!You're confused. If I even can find a job, this probably won't allow me to take coursework.
Disagree with your comments about the MCAT, for two reasons:I don't understand your problem. Presumably you have a degree. Use it.
Get a job. Go for an academic job if you can, for the benefits, or sell out for the money in a higher paying industry job or finance, or whatever is appropriate for your degree.
Then get to work taking classes, or save for an SMP. Your grades are a colossal obstacle to overcome. It's not just the grade, but the downward trend. You need major damage control. Don't just go to graduate school unless you plan to seriously consider another career. You spend 3 years damaging your GPA. Whatever the cause, as you got more experience in school and classes got more specialized in a field you chose, instead of doing better you did worse. That's a very big red flag that will make them second guess your ability to succeed in medical school. A good mcat is great, but anyone moderately bright can study for months full time and do well on a single test.

I DO WANT to pursue medicine but if I'm as hopeless as everyone one here suggests, what is the point?

You people are very unrealistic- you know how hard it is to get a job let alone one at a specific place?
Forget this, I'm going to grad school.
Thanks!
You can't unless you pay to upgrade your account or you get a verified badge. Or you could grossly violate the terms of service, but I don't recommend that.Edit: I don't know how to delete.
I DON'T HAVE MONEY- this is not a motivation issue, it's a financial one.
