So it has been a long journey for me. I have been on my own since I was 17, had to bust my ass to get anywhere in life. Always being told I will not amount to anything in life, etc. Whatever life moves on, I knew if I wanted anything I needed to work for it.
I started working overnights full time caring for disabled clients and taking classes during the day at my local CC. Prereqs at the CC: Bio 1/2, GC 1, Physics 1/2. All A's. 3.8 GPA at the CC and got an associates.
From there transferred to a 4-year state school. Still working, this time as a coordinator for the largest before/after school program in the school system. Took my OC 1/2 (A, B+), GC 2 (A+), Genetics (A+), Physio (C), along with other gen ed classes. Will have my B.S. by next Fall.
So I am not sitting at a 3.6 oGPA and a 3.7sGPA. Still plan on taking Biochem, Micro and ecology and plan to raise my GPA if possible. Still working as well.
I have come good volunteering hours. And need to shadow some more.
I guess my main concern is the CC hours. Will that kill me when applying to schools? I know my GPA is around average. With a good MCAT could I possibly be looking at some acceptances? I plan to take the Jan MCAT and apply next cycle.
Which schools are generally CC friendly? Do I have a realistic shot?
Thanks everybody!
