Isn't the fear of not improving from a 22 enough motivation?

But to answer your question, a 22 will kill your chances at an allopathic school no matter how high your GPA.

Figure out why you’re getting a 22. Is it the material itself or are you having trouble finishing on time? Maybe you’re just not comfortable with standardized tests…
Whatever the problem is, find a study strategy and schedule that works for you and stick to it. If you try there is no way that you can’t rise above that 22. Just figure out what is giving you trouble (easier said than done, I know) and work at it.

Good luck.
