So I still have 1 1/2 years to go in undergrad with a strong science at 3.9 ( no orgo 2 or calc yet so we'll see how that goes...)

but .. I had some health issues during my first semester of college and received two f's and two D's ...ouch

I have tried to pull it up but even if a took a 25 nonscience courses and postpone graduation..(which I most likley will) Ill at best get a 3.2 nonscience. My ec's are pretty good as well.

Soo any suggestions out there for an aspiring physician? Also my gpa does not reflect grade forgivness

What do you mean by "grade forgiveness?"

I mean for applying D.O your retaken classes take the place of old ones and I believe med schools don't. So when calculating I used every grade

I see, that's what is usually referred to as grade replacement. DO schools are medical schools.

Continue to get A's in every class possible and don't take the MCAT until you are scoring at or above your target score.

Also, what should my target score if say I graduate with a 3.8 science and a 3.2 non-science? I would be trying to get in anywhere that would accept me that's not out of the country. I have been especially looking at D.O. schools in the southeast

It depends on your state of residence.
