Hey guys/gals,
I am a non-trad student/graduate. Graduated from a 4-year a while ago and went back to a CC to retake some pre-reqs and added more science courses to raise my GPA and I am proud to say that the hard work paid off and will be going to med school next year!
I was just curious how the transition for folks who took courses or a majority of their pre-reqs at a CC went now that they are in medical school. Did you feel you "missed out" or were underprepared since you didn't take your pre-reqs at a 4-year university or didn't do an official post-bacc program? Do you think it affected you in anyway in med school in terms of studying, comprehending, and performing on exams in med school?
Maybe I'm just freaking out about what will happen a year from now but just wanted to see what my SDN folks had to say!
Thanks!
