Full disclosure I was a lazy POS during my bachelors degree on top of being a football player so I really didn’t care about school beyond graduating. I graduated college with a 2.1 GPA. 4 years later, I am an officer in the Air Force and currently working on my MBA with a 4.0 GPA. I finally worked through my study habits that I neglected in college and if I had the habits I have now, I would have done much better in my bachelors. I was wondering if there’s a realistic way to prove that I am no longer a lazy POS and could succeed in medical school? I.e. pre-med courses, etc? Thanks
Absolutely! You would take the prerequisites as a post bacc “program.” Either through a formal or DIY route. The goal would be to get your cgpa to at least a 3.0 so you don’t end up getting screened out during the application process. Showing an upward trend is key for many of us who graduated with a gpa less than 3.0 in undergrad. Many people recommend an SMP but I don’t know too much about them so I’d research post bacc vs smp depending on how many prerequisites you’ve already taken at this point. Good luck!
