One question is which major to choose and which school to attend that is both efficient and affordable, while also meeting the prerequisites you need. Perhaps a combination of UMPI and SNHU?
Here's a chart someone posted regarding acceptance rates based on GPA and MCAT scores. Keep in mind that even individuals in the 70% range may not be admitted to medical school
This graph is where I decided 517 was the "fix most problems" score. When I found this graph, what blew me away was the fact that a person with a sub-3 GPA still had almost a 50% chance of getting in. If you apply to low-tier colleges, you will most likely have a shot. If the rest of your app is high quality, you will get in at many places, especially if your recent GPA is high.
I'm still debating it, but I am old. A lot of people here are, too. The earliest anyone at my starting point could be done is 9-10 years. I'm two years away from starting med school and then seven at a minimum before I would be finished if I land in one of the shorter residencies.
