I just want to know what are my chances of getting accepted to any medical school in the US with low stats (3.2 gpa, 14 MCAT😳). I also have a MPH degree in Nutrition (3.8 gpa). If medical school is impossible, then what other health professions I could apply with my low stats? Do you think if I will have a chance for podiatry schools without retaking the MCAT? This is my 2nd time applying to med schools. I know it's daring but I just wanted to give it a try. Now that I am desperate in pursuing any health professional careers. Please any suggestions??? I honestly don't want to retake the MCAT though; it't very stressful. It's been four years since the first time I applied for med schools and graduated from college. During that time, I attended public health school and took some science courses at a community college. I don't know of this would help though.
Thanks!

Well for DO + MD (even Caribbean), it doesn't look plausible. Pull your MCAT up to a 20+ and you have a shot at podiatry if that interests you at all.
 
I'm sorry to say that you won't have a chance at any US med schools with those stats, but if you want to be a physician there are ways to do it if you are willing to put in the time and expense to get better stats. Unfortunately, the high masters GPA doesn't help you at all to get into a med school.

To my knowledge, Podiatry schools would be the most forgiving programs if you have lower stats, and your GPA might be fine there, but the MCAT would have to be retaken. You might check in the Pre-Podiatry Forum for more information.
 
Hi Everyone,
