I am currently a sophomore at the university of Pittsburgh, my GPA my freshman year was a 2.5 and I have a feeling this semester will be similar, at least a 3.0. It's not because I don't get it, its because I haven't studied or done work and I'm beginning to learn to crack down. I also currently work in a research lab and am a candidate for Howard Hews Medical Institute research thanks to my boss placing me in the pool and I have a good chance of getting it because of him. But I had three questions.
My first question is if I improve from here and start getting 3.6-4.0 and do well on my MCATS do I still have a chance at getting into a medical school in the united states?
My second question is if I did a fifth year in undergrad would it be frowned upon by a medical school even if I did exceedingly well?
My third question is if I did a program like Teach for America after graduating undergrad even with a cumulative GPA around 3.3 3.4 would this help me to get into a medical school?
