Hello.
Okay, so I am a junior in college. It is time to start preparing for MCAT and my school is offering the classes for $1500. I don't want to take the class if I know i don't have a high chance of getting into medical school. I know there is the post-bacc, but will that help with boosting my GPA, AND getting more experience( clinical)? I want to go into forensics, (forensic pathology) and all I have done so far is shadow the chief medical examiner in my hometown. I am still searching for programs for this summer to get into. My GPA as of now is a 2.6, I know not very strong at all. And sometimes i do get discouraged about my GPA. That is why I'm second guessing myself about taking this mcat prep because I don't want to waste my parents money taking the class, and then possibly not getting accepted into a post-bacc program, or medical school. I have looked up on doing my masters, but most people said that is a waste of time because it doesn't really help boost my GPA, as if I were to do post-bacc programs. What do you all thinK? I just need help trying to make my final decision about what I want to do after undergrad. Time is ticking, and I just don't know what to do.
🙁. Please help future MDs/ODs!!!!
