In my undergraduate career, I failed and made Ds in a few courses including some sciences due to depression. I retaking a few of the sciences I did poorly in, but it will only bring me up to a 2.5. I plan on applying to a SMP, but I fear I won’t be accepted due to my very low gpa. Anyways, you have given me the little hope I needed to not throw in the towel.

Reading your post inspires me that just because I had a bad past doesn't mean I should give up my dream in being a doctor and work as hard as I can from here on out to make that dream a possibility. I hope one day I can get into medical school so I can share my dream and inspire others just as you have inspired me.

With that being said I current have a gpa of 2.3 and have one more semester to go. I want to do a SMP program to help with my gpa, but I am very scared that I won't get accepted with my stats. I also cannot decide if I want to take the MCAT in the summer or the GRE to get into a graduate program because I do not want to fail the first time I take the MCAT. Any advice?

I got into a school in Australia in 2015 but my pregnancy made it impossible for me to stay as the insurance I had purchased would not cover any expenses relating to pregnancy and by the time I left I had lost over 20 pounds and was suffering from severe malnutrition and dehydration (from the extreme morning sickness). I've been looking to retake the MCAT and find any way to raise my undergrad GPA which took a hit after I'd been sexually assaulted by a family member. Reading this post makes me feel like there really is hope.
