My situation- please look, i appreciate all your help

Hello,

Sorry if this is annoying for some, but I was wondering if you would not mind sharing your knowledge with me.

I have a 3.38 GPA and only took two science courses (one pass/fail, which I passed, and the other I got a B). I work for the American cancer society and speak directly to cancer patients about treatment options, support groups etc. I also have volunteered at a retirement home, and will be volunteering at a hospital pretty soon. These experiencing have affirmed and strengthened my desire to become a doctor.

My question: I am looking into post bacc programs, will attending one of these and doing well be enough to offset my gpa? Honestly, even if I do VERY well I can only hope for a 3.4-3.5. Is this enough for me to be accepted into a med school?

Thanks for looking and I appreciate your honesty and taking the time to look at this thread. I very much want to be a physician but I am worried I might not have the credentials.

It's likely you'll be able to raise your overall GPA much more than that if you work hard in a postbac.
