Yes it is hard, you can continue to try.
You can choose another health care profession- such as physician assistant/ ANP / nursing which are affordable & satisfactory jobs. But PA / Nurse practitioners (ANP) . jobs needs a collaborating physicians to work. There are few states that allow ANPs to practice independently.

Daniel’s Answer

You can apply for MD or DO schools to broaden your options. Both = Doctor! Always have a second option like PA or Nursing School. I recommend trying to get the best grades and scores you can, but also try to get plenty of experience. There're plenty of Summer Medical Programs that can help with the process during college. I did SMDEP, PREP, and Medicial programs at different colleges during my summers meanwhile in college. Hope this helps.
