So I'm not really sure if this is the place for this, I'm sorry in advance if it's not! I was one of the kids in high school that never had to study to get As and thought it would be the same thing in college. My first semester went great, but then I had to work 40 hour weeks and thought I could juggle that plus a full school loan. Needless to say that didn't work out and I was dismissed. I petitioned for immediate reinstatement and it was granted, and had to shadow someone for a paper and decided to shadow a doctor and that's when I decided I eventually wanted to go to medical school. I know I'm in for a rough road, and know that my semester of Fs will really hurt me. If I get an A in every class until graduation I will only have a 3.2 cumulative. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what I could do to become a stronger applicant? Would I need to go to grad school or what? On my MCAT I scored a 36 and am currently a junior so I don't have much time to make a lot of improvements. Any help would be appreciated!
