Hi, I have an undergraduate degree in computer engineering and I hated every minute of it. I ended up with a GPA of 3.1 and decided a year into my career that I wanted to pursue medicine (an old dream of mine) I started my postbacc at NYU and ended up with a GPA of 3.7. I am currently studying for the MCATs and feeling demotivated looking through posts because it feels like I am doing it all for nothing since my chances are pretty low due to my UG GPA. Combined with my postbacc due to a lot of credits in UG I am looking at a 3.25 which is low even for DO schools. I also was working full time as a software engineer and founded my own company while I was doing my postbacc (I needed to earn a living) I am wondering if that would look favorable on my application? Any advice or should I just give up?
