Second year undergrad here! I'm still working on my degree and will be taking the MCAT next year. The biggest problem I have is that I've gotten C's in all my chem classes. My GPA is low due to a failed attempt at pursuing aerospace engineering. Got C's in calc 2 and 3. I did fine in general physics and biology, but the grades I've gotten in all my chem classes are pretty much crap for medical school. My school doesn't allow retakes so I'd have to go to another school, but the only other good school I can get into doesn't have the degree that I want. That degree is my fall back and something I really want to pursue if medicine doesn't work out or I change my mind. So I was thinking that I should retake those chem classes after I graduate, But because I don't plan on taking a few years off to build my resume with extra currics, I was thinking about using that time to also do a MP or SMP to boost my gpa. I would love some advice on this. D.O school isn't an option. I figure that if its easier to get into D.O school then its definitely not the same as MD.
