Greetings everyone! I'm new to this forum so please spare me if I'm posting in the wrong area.

So just to be short, I want to attend medical school in the near future but may have some harsh obstacles in my way. I am a 19 year old Pre-Med/Pre-Pharmacy student currently attending my local community college. I didn't really know I wanted to go to medical school (or at least wasn't serious about it) until a few months ago. I have kind of messed around in community college and changes my major 3 or 4 times. I went from a communications major to now a Biology major. My grades have sorta suffered from my shenanigans. I have a GPA of 3.2 give or take. I know these grades are not acceptable and probably will not get me into a professional program. I'm getting ready to start my last semester at my local community college before I transfer to a public university. Since really finding myself I have matured and gotten a very level head on my shoulders. I currently have 2 "W" (withdraws) on my transcript along with a 3.2 GPA. My question is, if I really commit myself to my studies and show a persistent level of progression, will I stand any chance getting into Medical School or even Pharmacy School? I really feel this is my calling and I am completely dedicated. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
 
I had a 3.2 my first two years of college with basically no EC's. I kicked it into gear, got a 3.8+ my last two years and took an extra year off to boost my app. If I can get accepted to med school, so can you
 
Buckle down kid
kick some ass put your all into it and I'm confident that if you apply reasonably you'll be a physician
 
Your GPA will increase and have an upward trend if you do well from now on, not to mention that your science GPA will go up faster than your cumulative GPA since weren't a science major earlier. You'll be fine if you work hard.
