I work full time (outside of medicine), will that count for anything? I'm from Cali and would like to come back here.. I'm wondering what my chances for AUC are (even worth applying?) or possibly some other Caribbean schools? Thanks.
Your GPA is low and it's not good that you're taking the pre med requirements at a community college. Unless you're working in a healthcare setting, that's probably not going to matter much either. You're going to have to do very well on the MCATs to balance out the GPA. If you do well on the MCATs, you might have a shot at AUC, Saba, Ross, or SGU. You'd have a better chance at one of the easier schools like St. Matthews, but the other schools don't have CA approval, so returning there would not be an option.
