Hello fellow pre meds, as I stated yesterday my stats are not stellar and I am going to need to crush the MCAT and ace out the remainder of this year and a year or two after graduation to have a chance at getting accepted into medical school. I really don't know if it's worth putting all of this work in to getting accepted when the odds could so easily go against me. Is there anyone out there with a success story of overcoming poor grades to get accepted? I'd really like to hear your stories.

I know there are success stories of overcoming a bad GPA on here, but many (if not all) of the stories happened when grade replacement was still a thing.
