can I make it to med school?
I have been in a major depression about this the past semester, so to reddit we go. I am a rising junior at a small liberal arts college. My GPA is very low (Freshman year was a terrible year mentally and socially, my priorities were all messed up, it was bad) and although sophomore year has been a lot better (mostly high B's and A's) my gpa is still below a three. I've been considering both law school and med school, but I want to get an opinion on if I should even consider going to med school if I literally cannot get in due to my low GPA. My school itself is not very set up for a medical career, as my degree amounts to a dual philosophy/theology with a minor in math. I would be able to take the extra pre-req's after I graduate, then study the MCAT, then apply.
I want to be a doctor because I love people. I work in food service constantly and love the fast pace and the communications. I also grew up on a ranch, and very much enjoyed tending and caring for sick animals on our ranch (giving them shots, working with deliveries, suturing wounds, etc). However, if my GPA is just too low at this point, then it is what it is. Please help ya girl, she is struggling :)
