Went to law school for one semester. Absolutely hated it there and was accumulating too much debt to want to continue something I didn't enjoy or want to do anymore. I was in the top third of my class in law school, so I did fine grade wise. Just purely a decision based on my happiness level and the poor job market didn't help either. I wanted to get involved in a science career and know I will have a feeling of fulfillment through helping others.
I had to go back to undergrad to take my pre req classes and other science classes to raise my sGPA. I took some of the classes at community college (due to schedule problems with the university) but most of them were done at the university level. I am a Florida resident.
Expecting my sGPA to be 3.5 after this summer semester.
ECs:
MCAT score:
pending - realistically looking at ~28 but can see a 30.
