I appreciate your quick response. Thank you very much. I’ve pretty much figured that’s what I’m looking at. I’ll be sure to write again in 12 years or so when I’ve completed my residency.

My main question is just: “is it possible for me to turn things around get admitted to a US MD school?” If it’s possible, I can figure out the “how” on my own. However, that’s not to say that any additional advice would be unappreciated.

I might be the ultimate non-traditional premedical student. So, I just graduated last semester from a CSU with a BA in Communication. My gpa was an atrocious 2.9 with mild upswing in my junior and senior year. Obviously my coursework was light in science, however I did manage to get an F in Human Physiology… in two consecutive semesters. To say I lacked motivation would be an understatement, which is too bad (for me at least) because I’m brilliant. That might sound like I’m being full of myself. However, if you put any stock in either, I’ve shattered IQ tests and never been under the 90th percentile in those state tests you take in high school. The one semester a professor actually set a challenge to me I reviewed his notes once and got the highest score on his midterm in his tenured history of teaching that course.

As I’ve been reflecting these past months since my graduation I’ve come to the realization that the only thing I want to do with my life is be a M.D. I care about people. I volunteer at a homeless shelter frequently. If I can become a physician I plan to volunteer abroad after residency. I’ll do anything to become a physician. Is it possible for me to accomplish this in the next 12 or 13 years? I’m open to anything. Would a SMP help me in my situation? Going back for a second bachelors in a science such as biology? I’ve never taken physics in my life, but always thought it’d be right up my alley.
