I had been pre-dent for the past 3 years, but recently decided that medical school would be more appropriate for me (I want to be a psychiatrist). Anyways, I'm finishing my senior year of undergrad, gpa is currently 3.4, sgpa: 2.9. Biology major. Not that I'm a fan of excuses, but I basically I had a mental illness, severe anxiety/depression, which led to procrastination and avoidance of school work.
I obviously have to do a post-bacc, and I was also going to do a year of research/volunteering. (2 or 3 years total of stuff). My resume up until this point is a lot of dental school shadowing and some other random (but impressive) unrelated internships/leadership. I was wondering if this would be enough for me to have a shot at an MD program? How many years does it take for someone to build (or rebuild) a successful app to med school?
