SPRING:2.68

2ND YEAR
FALL:2.22
SPRING:2.50


3rd year
fall:2.67

It's possible since you're willing to stay an extra three years to fix it. However, you can't really mess up since you have already acquired so many credit hours such that it will be harder to raise your gpa. Also, how'd you do in the pre reqs?

It's going to take forever, even with DO grade forgiveness.

Are you still "unmotivated"? Are you going to be when you've got patients and you're tired? Why medicine? What are your pre-req grades? What are your ecs?

well i am more motivated right now, and i am hoping to do well the coming semesters. also i have acquired 60 credits but they are mostly humanities and social sciences. the reason my gpa is so low, is i get mostly B is these classes. Also i have taken gen chem and calc 1 both i got a C. i took bio 1 got a B. im retaking bio 2 and gen chem 2. hopefully, i can repair my sgpa by taking a lot of bio courses. i currently volunteer at a hospital. and next year i am hoping to get a shadowing gig, and also do some research along the way. so what do u guys think? is it feasible still?😕

Baby, you've gotta get a whole lotta less-than-B's for those grades.

Assuming you've got a 2.7 over 90 credits... you need 105 hours of 4.0 for a 3.4, the minimum for comp.

If you can knock out the MCAT, get some stellar ecs, hard-core PS... there's a chance.

You're going to need to prove you've grown up and you can handle the load. Those grades are going to follow you around if you do MD, so what I'd do? Leave them there to stink and start all over, ace everything this time. It'll balance out. Tell them you were immature, you've got your head on straight, and you refused to move on until you had proved.

120 credits of 4.0 gives you a 3.442... so maybe do a little extra.
