Med school options with low gpa?
My cGPA is a 2.3 which is quite terrible. I'm in my third year but I had to take some time off so I will definitely be taking an extra year to complete my undergrad. I tried my best but life happened and I just couldn't keep up. I'm trying my best to bring my GPA up though.
I'm quite aware that my GPA is a bit too low to med school anywhere in Canada unless I get straight A's till I graduate, and even then I might not be able to be anywhere near competitive.
My passion is medicine, and I'm not giving up hope any time soon. But, I want to know my options.
Realistically, what are my chances at even trying to apply here in Canada, and international (like the US, Ireland, Australia, Carribean). I'm open to DO too honestly.
Other than that, I'm willing to try PA and nursing as back up options.
I really don't want to give up on my dreams, and I'd appreciate any advice and guidance, even success stories from others with low GPAs.
Thanks!.
