Losing hope...any advice please

[premedstudent8888]

I am a rising senior in undergrad and have wanted to go to medical school for as long as I can remember. I come from an Indian-American family and the pressure is real but, medical school has really been my dream. I'm struggling in school right now and have a gpa of 3.31 after completing my junior year. I'm discouraged to pursue my dreams because I don't see a scenario where I can get into medical school. I really want to do a clinical gap year program before applying and gain more experience as well but I'm afraid it won't make a difference. I have been doing several years of research and work in a lab as well as participate in two clubs and volunteer in a hospital which is really rewarding. I would really appreciate any advice that I can get because I don't feel like I have anyone to turn to. Please, what should I do?

Have you considered DO school?

You could be competitive for DO schools if you can score at least 500 on the MCAT. You may have a chance for MD schools if you can raise your GPA during your senior year and score at least 508 on the MCAT.
