Thank you for your reply UBC2014! No I am not working a job outside of school. I've just been dealing with some issues but I believe I can look past it now. I will most likely end up taking 5 years even though I still plan to take some courses over the summer. I have already identified key areas that I need to work on to improve such as time management (i.e. consistent and regular review of course material throughout the entire semester and not a week or two before a midterm or final). As well as formulating an actual weekly study schedule and to stick with it no matter what! I feel after I have implemented these changes I can greatly improve my grades.
Also this may or may not have been clarified in my original post but I am currently attending a Canadian university and would be applying as an international Canadian student in the States. I also plan to rock the MCAT and built up my extracurriculars as much as possible without affecting my grades.
Given all this information, what GPA should I hope to attain realistically to even be considered in the States?
Thank You
