hi there. I recently graduated from college with a B.A in English, and have been accepted into columbia's post-bac premed program. I'm really interested in becoming a PA however I'm very unsure if I should go through with this post-bac program. Overall, the program costs about $22,000 a year and I'm estimated to take 2-3 years to finish. Additionally, I'm only 22 years old--My true dream right now is to explore life, travel to LA, and try my hand at becoming a screen writer before I make a huge decision like this and accumulate all of this debt; however my family would absolutely shun me if I don't settle on some sort of career soon. I graduated college with a 3.7 GPA and I did take pre calculus (A-). I guess I'm very nervous about this post- bac because I struggle a bit with math and as an English Major, I have not been exposed to any of the sciences since high school. I'm afraid that I will take out these loans, perform poorly, and have no back up plan. I've considered taking the prerequisites at a community college or public college to lessen the cost, however, myself graduating from a public university, I'm worried that I will not receive the same resources and support as I will at Columbia. I am genuinely interested in a career in PA, but I'm not confident about the prerequisites. I've already been accepted into the program, and I have to make a decision within a week. Please, please help me.
