you should consider becoming a nurse first and work your way through college in that manner, if you can pass the boards for nursing you can not only make a good wage and choose your hours to work so can work around further schooling, but will be in the medical community and can see if you want to further your studies to become a doctor. There is such a shortage of nurses that you should be able to find financing available to you, and a lot of community colleges offer nursing programs, especially the 2 year ( lowest rung on nursing) course that gets you an RN I think ( it is either that or LPN cant remember). Meanwhile buck up on your grades and school work !!! because guess what, you will be an adult and out in the world before you know it, and you will need skills to make it in today's world. Best of luck to you.

Contrary to most advice, my advice is to NOT consider a community college unless you really have no choice. Try as much as possible to get into a 4-year college, a state college if your grades are not satisfactory. You can then strive to achieve and maintain a good GPA (3.5 and above is highly desirable for a state college pre-med student) during your 4 years in college. Choose a 4-year state college which has a pre-med committee. You'll need the committee's recommendation when you apply for medical schools and you need to complete the pre-med curriculum.
If you really have to go to a community college, then strive for excellent GPA there and transfer to a 4-year college/uni after you get your associate's degree. Bear in mind that it's highly desirable that you complete your pre-med sciences at a 4-year college. Sciences taken a community college are not considered competitive in the eyes of most med school admission committees.

It's a good place to start. If you do well at the community college, you could transfer to a good four-year college, which would make it easier for you to get into medical school. You do, however, need to look into why your grades are so poor. If you were immature earlier and now focus, you can improve your grades, but if you are just not a very good student, you either need to learn how to do this better or look at a different profession.

yes if you think you did bad then a community college will be majorly helpful. It'll give u a chance to really prove yourself. make sure to try verrryyy hard though. once u finish your 2 years try to have like above 3.5 GPA. Having good grades is very important especially if your going to become a doctor.

That would be a good place for you to prove to yourself and the rest of academia that you are capable of doing a better job of playing the game, so yes!
