Hi. So yeah. The idea never had occurred to me that there was the possibility that maybe i'd want to go to med school with a focus in psychiatry. The plan initially was to go get my MA in Clinical, work for a bit, and then go back to get my PsyD.
And then, the more i started to think about it, it dawned on me that med school may be the best route for what i want to do, which is to work psych in a hospital.
The only issue is the fact that i have absolutely none of the prereqs that are typically done premed, and i only have a semester left of my schooling before i graduate with a BA in Psych.
So, i guess my question is, would it look bad to schools if i go and get my prereqs (bio, ochem, chem, physics, etc.) at my local community college? It'd be way cheaper than going back to my university for an extra semester, but i don't want future med schools to think that i was taking the easy route and taking courses at CC. I mean, i'd have a BA from a good 4 year university, so it shows that i can do the work, and, with only a semester left, i currently have a 3.7, so it shows that i'm able to do the work and do it well.
Is CC a bad choice?
