so basically I had the worst year and a half undergad career in the world i went from ending freshman year with a 3.5 to ending my first term as a junior with a 2.0 im changing my major in lieu of the fact that i need to bring up my gpa i will have more open electives compared to a biology major and i would be able to retake the classes i did bad in of which oone i already took twice

There is no chance at this point for me to become a doctor ? Im assuming

And for bio i told the professor off thats why i bombed
And chem i was five min late to the final was not allowed in


so yah what now

First, I would say that being so far into your degree and performing as you have is indicative of an issue that extends beyond the grades themselves. Are you finding any pleasure in what you're learning? Try and identify your interests and deficits and work to harmonize the two.

Second, your GPA doesn't mean you're down and out though from here forward you HAVE to show an upward trend in your grades otherwise no ADCOM will be willing to confide in you for attending their school.

Third, spend time reading the application services and see how they factor your grades even if you are to change your major. I had a friend that tanked his finance GPA, graduated and took the med school pre reqs with all As and his overall GPA was 3.1 which ain't hot.

1) Start making better choices.
2) Start aceing things from now on
3) Retake any F/D/C science coursework
4) You may need to do a post-bac (which can be DIY) or an SMP, depending upon how your GPA is at the end of your SR year.
5) Please do not go loose cannon on us.
6) There are a good number of med schools that reward reinvention.

What exactly caused that huge drop in GPA? All you can really do is have some faith in yourself, kick ass in your remaining courses, retake courses you got C-F grades in, then kill the MCAT.

If you can afford (time- and sanity-wise) to add to your ECs, definitely keep doing that as well. Volunteer, shadow, research etc.

If you are truly dead set on med school, do not sell yourself short. Do not give up.
