Hi all, I'm honestly a bit lost on what to apply to and need as much advice as possible. To tell you a bit about myself, I am 20 years-old with a BS degree in Psychology that I got in December. My GPA ended up being a 3.0 (I know it's not the best) and my sGPA was a 3.2. I was fortunate enough to go to a high school that awarded me with an associates degree upon graduation which is why I was able to finish school faster. While in high school, those last two years which were just college classes, were not good grades to put it simple. I messed up badly since I didn't apply myself.
Fast forward to college, where I entered as a Junior, my intention was to study psych in order to get a head start on that one part of the MCAT. As time passed, I got discouraged in my classes because I honestly thought that I wasn't enough to become a doctor AND while being a minority. Yes I now know these were all lies that I was making myself believe but this really messed up my GPA. Even though I got my bachelors, I had let go of that dream of become a doctor. Which takes me to where I am now. I know what I want, and I am willing to work hard to enter into an MD school. My dream has always been to become a surgeon. I can't picture myself doing anything else.
I am thinking about doing a DIY post-bacc at a CUNY but if its worth doing that or just jumping straight to a SMP. I have taken some pre-requisites (but those grades were not good at all). What do you all recommend? Do you guys think I still have a chance or no?
