I am a first year right now. I got in with a 3.1 GPA and a 32 MCAT. I applied to 30 schools the first time and only got one interview. I was waitlisted and a spot never opened up. I immediately applied to a masters program at EVMS and after one year I was immediately accepted into their medical school. So yes, but I had to get a one year masters degree at a medical school. They are called Special Masters Programs. There are only a few, mostly east coast. Look at UPenn, Drexel, Georgetown, EVMS.

Only if you have a killer MCAT score. I knew a guy who barely had a 3.0 GPA but scored a 12 on the MCAT and got in.
I don't know if they still do this, but some medical schools used to reserve 2% of their seats for extraordinary cases. If you have a really good sob story (no offense) you might be able to get accepted that way.
