Kball96 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Although there have been many threads started regarding a similar question, my ordeal is more specific. Coming out of highschol my plan was to study to become a lawyer, that is what was expected of me, especially within my family. I am currently in my 2nd year of my BA and lost complete focus and motivation within my courses, as I recently realized I have been pressuring the wrong career. I am not an Arts student, my heart belongs to science and medicine. Unfortunatly I realized that after I had let my GPA fall to bellow a 2.5. My plan is now to change degrees entirely and reapply to the med science program at Dalhousie, starting from the beginning and completing the full 4 year program. My concern is that although I'm changing my degree entirely and doing another 4 years, my previous 2 years of my BA will impact my getting accepted into med school. What are you suggestions or opinions? I would love to head from anyone and everyone as I am very stressed about this, it consumes my thoughts 24/7.

iweepfortheyweep Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm not sure how your specific case goes but you can find solace in the fact that many med schools only look at either your two or three most recent years (Queens, Ottawa, Western) and others are willing to drop your lowest courses or years (Toronto, Calgary) if you meet their criteria.
