Hey everyone,
I graduated with BS/MS in 2016 with a combined GPA of 3.05. Took my MCAT in 2017 with little to no preparation and scored a 488. It's a horrible score, I know. It seems like everything is going wrong for me and that there's no chance to being admitted to medical school. For the past 2 years I've been working as a scribe and an assistant at an accounting firm. Really needed the money to pay off loans and to help my fam.
Obviously my GPA and MCAT score wont get me accepted anywhere, so I'm looking for options. I really want to become a physician.
Should I seek a 2nd bachelors and apply after my "second" year? or should I apply to a Master's program?
I do have 5000+ hours of shadowing. Volunteered at a clinic in Ecuador for underprivileged indigenous people.
Any advice is welcome.
