How would it look to MD admission if I graduate with a BS in Neuro at a 4 year UC uni then doing taking courses at a cc to raise my gpa (cgpa 3.04 sgpa: 3.2)?

mmmm i’m a graduating senior wit a bs in Neuro. graduating wit 3.0-3.1 cgpa and 3.2 sgpa. with somewhat clinical experience (multiple hours volunteering at diff units at 2 diff hospitals), i have my emt cert but no license (30 hr clinical hours), and like some shadowing hours(8 hrs?). I applied to post bacc program in diff Ucs (ucsd, ucsf, uci, ucd) but got rejected in 2/4 i applied to. oh yeah MCAT 482 then retook to 486. lowk its tough but um now i’m not sure what to do because for sure i need a job but i’m not sure if i should redo prerequisites i got a c on (i never failed a class) DIY post bacc or like even eligible in applying to SMPs

I really want to get in to medical school and become a doctor and i know that like it’s all about perseverance and being hopeful and being competitive. with that in mind, do you guys have any like advice on what I should do? (bc i know for sure i have to enhance my gpa, mcat, and clinical experience). I lowkey need 1 on 1 mentoring which is why i applied to post bacc but if SMPs are a better option then.

ALSO if y’all got anything bad to say literally just scroll idgaf (LMFAO). i just need input from actual med students and doctors or other pre meds that are going through the same thing or like know a path that’s more optimal.
