I disagree with optimistic. It depends...At your school does your premed advisor or a committee write a letter of recommendation for those applying to med schools? If so, then you need to be in the program to get the letter. Some medical schools may require such a letter or require a very good explanation for why you can't get it--such as you've been out of college for ten years. You need to find out exactly what the premed prgram at your school does for applicants. I woudl do your best to bring up your grades and try to get back into the program. Some advisors suck but many can provide good advice about how applicants at your school fare with the process. you need to improve your grade anyway if you want to get into medical school, so what's the big deal about re-applying the program. I'm sure if you improve, you will be welcomed back. Good Luck. PS.You can apply to med school without a pre-med advisor, but in some situations, it's better to have one. It depends on the letter of rec. situation. The letter is very important, you dont' want to screw yourself over by not being in a program if you need to be.
