Two issues here: 1. There's no such thing as a 'failing' score on the MCAT. Did you mean you did not get a competitive score? 2. Why do you "need" to go to medical school? Perhaps you could give a little more info. on exactly what you want to do and where you'd like to go and I might be able to help. Running to an offshore school is not for the faint-hearted; the statistics show that many do not get their medical degree either due to the high attrition rate, poor academic performance, or failure on the U.S. medical licensing exams. Try to fix any academic problems now and exhaust all options at U.S. M.D. and D.O. schools. Again....figure out what your motives are for wanting to be a physician first. Good luck!
