Hey, thanks for reading! I am concerned I do not have the qualifications to get into medical school at this point. I have considered other avenues such as nursing/NP/PA, but it isn't what I am ideally looking for.
I graduated in Dec 2011 with a BS in Biology with cGPA 3.45. I have not taken the MCAT yet, as I don't want to invest the time, money, and energy into it, if it will not help my application.
I do not have research experience, as I have worked full-time since high school while taking 15-18 credit hours a semester.
I have work experience in OB, pediatrics, ED, and endocrinology. I have shadowed trauma surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, general surgeons, and plastic surgeons.
With a low GPA and no research experience, do I have a chance at medical school if I get a high score on the MCAT? Or should I pursue options such as grad school?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!!
