Have faith. I worked for a big name AM. All they wanted for entry level was assurance that it was above a 3.0. Even that wasn’t deal breaker if you had other strengths… I had a 3.06 and never put in on my resume.

what about if i pass level 1 and 2?
What, you mean saving 10 percent on your car insurance ain’t good enough?
Med can’t necessarily be that much fun either. Blood and guts, vomit, spit, and more you get the picture. Every body you see has something wrong with them. But I guess whatever floats your boat…risk v reward. good with bad.
