I'm going to be as honest as I can about my situation with divulging personal information. I'm a college drop out. I decided to drop out after my 6th year in community college. The first 4 years I wasn't actually working at all. I didn't show up to classes. The last two years I really picked up my work. I really focuses and worked hard. I would get Bs my math classes (college algebra, and precalculus/trigonometry.) As in mostly everything else including biology. I had hopes of becoming an engineer because I really do have a craving to understand things. I hit my first honest troubles last summer. I became over confident and decided to take a 6 week calculus course along side a 12 week chemistry class. I quickly fell behind in both. I drop my calculus course and completely flunked my chemistry class. By the time I drop the calculus course I was too far behind in chemistry.
I'm considering going back although I'm not 100% sure I will. I'm turning 24 years old this year (which is embarrassing) and still don't have a degree or even close to a degree. I have 3 F's two of which have been "forgiven" and 3 Ws. My school offers grade "forgiveness", but I understand those are still very damaging to a transcript. There is only so long you can keep doing the same thing expecting a different result.
My current gpa is sub 3.0, but I've been to disgusted with myself to look it up.
Now for my question. Knowing myself, and my current grades. I could with maximum effort pull a 3.2 gpa (with grade "forgiveness") pre-medical and a mcat between 25-28.
Based on this could I even get into medical school? If not I would appreciate some input on things in general.
I'm not depressed, just tired of the rigmarole and need some friendly outside advice. Thank you for listening.
