Long Long LONG LONG time lurker on this forum for over 7 years... never had to guts to make an account.
Currently 27, barely making enough to pay rent each month (started a startup), paid all undergrad debt, 0 clinic hour (will try to improve that over the next 2.5 years)
graduated in 2012 with Economics major, 2.75 cGPA, 2.57sGPA:
undergrad grades
Chem 1 B+ (got A in most lab grades) (2009)
Chem 2 C+ (2010)
Orgo 1 - C- (2010)
Bio 1 - D+ (2010)
Bio 1 repeat - B (2011)
Physics 2 - withdrew (2012)
Anatomy - B (2012)
I talked to a few post bacc schools and went to their open house for the post bacc program, and the program directors told me straight that they will not accept me because my GPA is much below their 'auto-filtering' system.
still need to take:
bio 2
physics 1, 2
orgo 1(repeat), 2
So I think I'm going to do a non-trad route of taking loosies at community colleges.
Current plan is
spring 2016: physics 1, and microbiology (if i can for this one).
summe 2016r: chemistry 2
fall 2016: biology 2, organic chemistry 1
spring 2017: physics 2, organic chemistry 1 prep for mcat
then with all those classes complete, take mcat, get a decent score, and apply for med school and do schools. Do you guys think this is possible for med schools to accept a student with a weird track?
or should i try to take more science classes like molecular cell biology, etc.
Thank you so much in advance for any advice!
