Hi Everyone,
So it's occurred to me late on with 4 quarters to go that I want to pursue a medical degree after I graduate. The catch is, I have no pre-requisites except two biology classes completed. I don't have enough time to finish up 3 quarters of calculus, physics, chemistry and organic chemistry. I never thought it could be possible for me to have a chance at medical school except I came across the "career changer post bac". To me, it sounds like a great chance. You get to finish up your science requisites after you graduate and some have linkages. The catch is that they only pay for one year of financial aid out of two. The alternative to a career changer would be to finish up the pre-reqs at a community college which would be thousands cheaper however, it lacks that whole boost of being a 4 year university. It occurred to me though, what if I did the science pre reqs at CC and, did a one year post bac to enhance my background? I'm going to throw down my stats here too. Please give me some feedback as to which is the best and if you have any experience doing any of this please let me know!
Majors: Psychology and Evolutionary Anthropology
GPA: 3.5
Research in an endocrinology lab for a year
Lots of EC, Will be shadowing a physician soon.
Thanks!
