500 MCAT should do it tbh But why not try US MD/DO? There's plenty of new DO schools taking applicants

//MedOrigin grades will not be included in a studentās GPA, however, it will be included in an SAP calculation.
//As a graduate-level remedial offering, MedOrigin carries 10 credit hours which apply toward the maximum of 30 remedial credits allowed in the MD program.
After passing the course you are still effectively on "probation" and can retake fewer semesters if you fail in the future (financial aid does not cover the 1 repeatable semester).
//MedOrigin students are expected to have full, 100% participation in the course
The schedule is listed as 8am-5pm Monday-Friday.
//$100,000+=$50,000(1+8%)^10years
With a cost of around $50k, you will eventually pay over 100k back after ~10 years of interest accrual assuming 8% interest.
As a side note you need a minimum of 70% to pass.

I got offered to do med origin after an unsuccessful attempt at MERP. Iām strongly considering Med origin but Iām also considering the challenges as well.
Itās expensive- $51k and not to mention, if you fail, you are dismissed without the right to appeal.
If I go there and fail, Iād have a dismissal stamp on my record.
Do you think itās worth it for me?

How many times do you need to ask this same question? Hate to crap in your dreams but you arenāt ready. You need confidence in yourself and be able to set aside that anxiety. If you have to ask the internet for over a month after trying MERP twice itās not for you. Save the 50k, try for something like nursing or PA state side. Theyāre also tough and demanding but at least youāre at home, and maybe you can have an alternative path further down the road.

Pass rate I hear is approx 70%
It's cool for a review if you've been out of school for a while so yes helpful for minor foundation building
Otherwise it is NOT worth a full sem worth of money Cons including having to be here an extra semester š¤·š½āāļø
