So heres some background, when I entered college my second semester in, I was dealing with some personal family emergencies, and ended up doing quite terribly. I know it's no excuse, but I'm trying to set my self up to get back in the game. I initially also thought that Dental was what I wanted to do, but I really feel like I have a passion for medicine.
Im currently sitting at a 2.97 GPA, with a little over 60 Credits and a completed AA degree. So far from my science pre reqs that I have taken (Bio 1, Bio 2, Chem 1) I have received all A's. I have about about two years left and my main question is, is it impossible for me to get into a medical school when the time comes? The low GPA is from my first year, and I definitely have an upward trend so far. (I tried calculating it out, and even if i get a 4.0 GPA my last 4-5 semesters, I would only come back up to a 3.4ish, and thats best case scenario)
I also have about 80 hours of shadowing a Neurologist and am trying to get some more clinical experience / shadowing. And have LOR set up from my Bio 1 teacher, and Neurologist whom I shadow for. Just some helpful advice or really any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you.
