Thanks in advance for reading over this and offering your honest opinions.
Background: I kind of sleepwalked through undergrad, never finding anything to study that I really enjoyed and ended up graduating with a sports administration degree and a GPA of 3.16. I worked a couple years following graduation, but was still looking for something more fulfilling.
After doing some career exploration and job shadowing, I ended up getting into an athletic training program and earned a master's degree with a 3.6 GPA. I have been practicing as a clinical/high school athletic trainer for about a year and really enjoying it.
I was able to spend some time in a rotation with a sports medicine fellowship trained pediatrician and my interest to further my education and pursue medicine has been very high ever since.
During undergrad, I took virtually no science classes that are prerequisites for medical school - only took biology I and got a C. I just finished taking general chemistry I and physics I and earned A's in both. Still would need to finish the second semesters of those classes finish rest of prereqs (physics, biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, etc).
Bottom line...if I am able to finish those prereqs with A's and earn a respectable score on the MCAT, would I have a reasonable shot at medical school acceptance?
