When I first went to college i really had no idea what i wanted to do. My 1st year I did nothing but screw off. My gpa after 2 semesters stood at a horrific 2.52. My next year in college was a little better as i brought my overall gpa up to a 2.8. I still have 3 years left in college due to the fact i am here for 5 years. I run track and field, and this is my main concern. I literally practice track from noon to 5 pm daily, also during 2nd semester i often go to class Mondays only then i am off on another track trip. UHG! If i get A's in every class from here on out i can still only achieve a 3.4 gpa overall, and all A's with track would be unbelievably hard. So what is the lowest gpa a medical school will even consider? Will they take track into consideration? Obviously the MCAT and other things are important, but i want to know, is my GPA going to be too low to even bother trying? thanks for your help and god bless!
Answer:
If your next 3 years of college are exemplary, then you may still have a shot at getting in.
If track is more important to you than your classes, it will be reflected in your grades, and will lessen your chances of being accepted.
You need to make a decision about your future, and where you want to concentrate your time and energy.

well it depends what medical school u want to get into . have u thought of that ? but i think maybe you should quit track and be more focused on your future (grades to get into medical school) GOOD luck with everything!
Those accepted to medical usually have a GPA in the vicinity of 3.5- the high 3.9's. You have to score very high on the MCAT also, and pass a rigerous interview before admission is granted. Just being good is not good enough anymore to get to med school, you have to be one of the BEST candidates.
You can do it if you go to a city college. They will take anybody. You'll become a medical assistant.
Medical assistant - not the samething as a doctor, by miles.
If you think your commitment to track is bring you down, then obviously you should quit. Med schools do take extracurricular activities into consideration but I'd say that volunteering at a hospital would be much better and less time consuming.
Not Good, even Granada might not take you.
You might want to plan for alternatives, like going into nursing and working for a while and then going for an MS in Nursing with the goal of NP
But this doesn't mean give up. It just means look at your options.
It is possible you can get into a lower ranked school out in the sticks
