I am interested contained by pursuing a trade contained by pathology. Any Advice?
** I'm a current Biology major w/ minor in chemistry, but my GPA is barely above a 3.0. Is near a chance I can still pursue pathology?
Answers:
A 3.0 is very low for admission to a US allopathic medical university. Although it does happen occasionally, it's typically in applicants who pair it near a stellar MCAT score, stellar extracurricular work, and who plans on attending a state school with pouring in-state bias (MS, LA, or ND for example). Of course you don't need to attend an MD school, there are DO and Caribbean/international medical school with lower admission standards.
Osteopathic schools are becoming more equivalent beside allo schools, but attending a Carib/international school puts a person into a pathway of serious danger when it comes to 1) financing their education, 2) securing residency training, and 3) licensing. These things can be overcome, however I would consider moving out of the country as the very end resort.

Most pathologists are medical doctors first and then specialise. You could aim to be an assistant / technician in a pathology lab. You do everything except cut up the bodies!
