Hi everyone I am really looking for some advice on what I should do to be a successful applicant for medical school admission. A quick back story I was a horrible student during undergrad a pre med major with a horrible GPA. I finally got my stuff together somewhat and applied to nursing school through a community college. My combined GPA right now is a 2.6. I received a 3.4 in my associate degree nursing program and I got a 4.0 in my BSN program. I am trying to raise my gpa but it seems impossible at this point. I need to retake Orgo 2 because I received a D in the class. Along with that retake I am planning on taking Genetics, Histology and Virology to boost my gpa. My gpa is low and I dont meet the min requirements for a SMP. should I just DIY post bac with upper division science classes until I can pull my gpa up to the minimum requirements? I been working as a ICU nurse for a year and a half at a level one trauma hospital and I do have a lot of community service under my belt. I just need the grades and I will take my MCAT next year. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
