Summary of Application Experience
Attention, low GPAers: Go get a master's degree at a school where they let you take medical classes. After you finish a couple (with good grades, claro), you can go to med schools with proof that you're interested, will be successful, and know their campus intimately. What more could they want? This is the backdoor to an acceptance!
