Would a post-bac help me?

I have a strong passion for becoming a Physician. I recently graduated undergrad with an overall G.P.A below a 3.0 and I'm considering a pre-med formal postback program or an informal Postbac Certificate program. If I excel and show a drastic change in grades during this program, can it boost my chances of a medical school acceptance?

What are some tips and advice you may have on what I can do?

Yes doing well in a post bac will help. You might benefit more from an SMP but doing poorly can really screw you.

Yes.

And read my post on reinvention for premeds.

Thank you for the feedback! I started off as a Bio major and switched my major to Public health. That's what I graduated with. So I don't have all my Pre-med course requirements. So I was looking into a career changer. I noticed a lot of SMP requires you to have all the medical school prereq courses completed first as program requirements.
