cGPA: 3.2
sGPA: 3.3
MCAT: 31 (I'll be retaking it but I hear this year it's much harder)
I took 49 college credits in high school and came out with a measly 2.4GPA. I got into a middle of the pack school and graduated with a mechanical engineering degree three years later with a 3.5GPA (from the university not cumulative) while working full time as a draftsman. I took all my pre-med science classes after graduation at a state school and got 4.0GPA. I looked at three schools in my area and none would allow me to retake any classes I passed leaving my stuck with that 2.4 GPA I earned while in high school.
I know I have zero chance for an MD school, but would a bottom tier DO look past my disastrous first two years and focus on the last four years of my education? My only concern would be finding a school out of state. I'm in Florida with my wife and she has wanted to get out of Florida for some time (crazy right?). I live right by NSU which sucks because that's probably my best bet.
