Feeling down as discouraged

Get a job. There's really no excuse unless you live in some rural area. This is holiday time and so many have been hiring.

If it's not too late to apply for DO schools, then do so NOW. If it is too late, then next year apply to the best DO schools.

What state are you in?

Eng'g is a risky major for premeds. Too many end up with GPA's that aren't high enough. I respect that a person wants to challenge themself, but at some point, when the GPA first starts suffering, a decision needs to be made....change major to keep MD hopes alive, or stick with the challenging major and go the DO route or a different career path.

Talk to your dad. Sure he's disappointed, but TBH, his admissions process decades ago, was probably far less competitive.

You don't need a SMP. You may need to take some BCPM classes this spring semester to boost your GPA a little....if that's possible. See if dad will fund those classes. If not, then apply to DO schools next cycle.
