I got a 2.8 GPA in my undergrad because I was severely depressed and didn't want to finish college. I managed to get my B.A and now I want to apply for med school...

if i get very high mcat scores and do well on my pre-req classes. Do I have a shot?

I got my B.A in philosophy from UCLA

You’re not going to be able to handle the workload and it’s not worth investing the time, money, and effort to end up failing and having 500k debt and no classes that transfer to a nursing program

What makes you think med school is going to be any different? Why did you study philosophy if you want to study medicine?

If you really wanted to get into Med school your best bet would be to do one of those pre Med post bacc programs and absolutely work your ass off to get straight A’s. Then of course you will need to ace the MCAT.

My advice: run away from medicine and never look back. It fucking sucks

Doctors are some ass busting, always in debt people. But even the most incompetent ones can get a job somewhere and make more then most workers.

If you went to school for philosophy you're not apt to get a competitive MCAT.
>but muh self study
No, biology and chemistry are both hands on subjects, and you're going to be required to have a background in both, and compete against individuals with 3.5+ GPAs in STEM subjects just to be reviewed. Many of these individuals have resumes significantly more impressive, more relevant, or more interesting than your typical college graduate (I know a few people with military experience, were from immigrant families that were dirt poor, or come from a family of doctors) that still have trouble gaining acceptance.
Not to mention, medical school is a 60+ hour per week job in its own right IF you're a slacker. Trying to gain top marks to get a good residency will see you falling well above that statistic.
>t. I went to school initially for premed then decided to go for chemistry since I did a little more research. Probably the best decision I made when I realized that I was well behind the curve graduating with a 2.6 GPA.

It’s totally doable but I would think twice if I were you I’m a medical student in my fourth year going into Derm which is considered the most difficult and covered specialty to go into in the US I graduated college with a 3.2 GPA and I had to do a one year post baccalaureate program in which I got straight A’s in order to bring my cumulative GPA up to 3.4 got a 34 on the old MCAT and had a really strong personal statement/extracurriculars and I got into more programs that I knew what to do with now that I’m nearing the end I kind of doubt if it was worth it I had half a mind to go into pharmacy school one of those three year programs where I could’ve been making six figures Only three years out of college which I could’ve then invested heavily in bitcoin and other high-risk high reward assets I’m not saying it can’t be an amazing extremely fulfilling careerBut think long and hard because large parts of the road to getting there are extremely soul crushing medical school literally gave me clinical depression and panic disorder.
