Hi everyone, I was reading over the posts and have to say I was surprised to see soo many people in the same boat as me. I am 29, married, and we have a 1 1/2 year old daughter. I started back to school after several years and I've been pointing myself in the direction of doing pediatric nursing, however I've begun to question whether I'm cut out to actually go into medical school. I've had the same questions as many of you regarding age, family, and the have a totally lost my mind thinking about medical school!? However, I think that I could do it. My husband is behind me 100% and it feels like the right decision.
The big questions I have is what do you get your bachelors in? I've read that the majority of people go into Bio or Chem, however I have an interest in Psychology and considered maybe child psychology since I want to go into Pediatrics. Any suggestions? Do the schools look at your undergrad major or just your grades?
Also, any suggestions on where to get an undergrad degree in Houston, TX? I am currently attending the community college getting my pre reqs, however I think if I am serious about going into med school I will need to start looking into the best and most affordable universities.
Also do any of you have suggestions on what med schools to look at as well?
Thanks for your time! Sorry for being long winded!
