I have a low gpa so i’m just trying to figure out my next steps.

Hey so I just graduated and I am dead set on take two gap years. This gives me time to mentally take a break, save up some money, and also study for my mcat. Now my undergrad Gpa is just about a 2.5. I know that’s not ideal but that’s what I got. I’m not really stressed about it because I have a goal and I intend to reach it and so now it’s just about figuring out the best approach for this next path. I really want to be an anesthesiologist and who knows that might change later on but that’s the goal currently. I’ve heard mix things like do a post bacc, get my masters, do an absn and take the crna route, etc. I really don’t want to get a masters because it doesn’t really seem useful for me personally. I’m just curious on what other people are doing or have done in the situation where their gpa is below a 3.0. Also what are things I can do to make my application stronger besides volunteer hours and good LORs. Any input is appreciated. Like I said i’m taking two gap years so i’m not in a rush but yea.
