So, I know I've fallen of the wayside with this but that's because I've been running around talking to some faculty, my profs, the dean and one of my advisors(who also happens to be the head of academic support services). Looking into the reality of what I would be stuck doing if I dropped out was a serious kick in the ass.

I went around to my professor's and talked to them about my situation in each of their classes. Of the ones I've talked to they all seem to think that I am more than capable of earning a respectable grade in their course if I put in real work. I talked to my advisor about the realistic chances of me getting into med-school which I already know are slim to none as things are now.

I've decided to put if off applications for a year to really focus on earning respectable grades. I'm going to go back in to her to talk about the chances of getting into a post-bac program to try to improve my chances of getting into school. I also decided to put off MCAT's until August instead of trying to make the late registration dead line. I think it will help me prepare better to do it over the summer when I won't have to worry about my prep competing with classes.

Thank you for the advice everyone, every bit was helpful as it helped me realize all my options and actually get me motivated to go talk to people and do something instead of rolling over and dying.
