This thread has been incredibly inspiring to read!
I graduated with a cGPA of ~2.7 (due to various reasons, some of them my own lack of drive) and always believed I was too dumb to become a physician (but I was definitely interested). After becoming a clinical social worker and working alongside some amazing doctors, I knew that that was the job I wanted to do. I recently left my very stable full-time job to go back to school and to complete a DIY post-bacc to repair my crappy GPA. Reading previous success stories definitely motivates me and shows me that this is very doable.
Congrats to those who have gotten in and good luck to those applying
12/21/2022 edit: more than 2 years later and I got an A from a DO school! I hope to get more love from other schools too but I feel very grateful, especially after reading my post from the start of my journey
