Hey guys!
I recently changed my major from nursing to exercise science to pursue medical school. I was in the clinical portion and hated it. This new degree fulfills most requirements I just have to add in a few classes. The problem is.... My schools chemistry and physics department is awful to say the least. Picking a professor requires you to hopefully get the best of the worst. Needless to say I wanted to take those classes at another university during the summer but that would completely destroy the prospect of taking the mcat the second semester of my "junior" (I'll be a senior technically because of the major change...) year. So I was thinking of taking the mcat my graduating spring semester in hopes for applying in the fall or the fall after that! Is this a good idea? Around which semester would I even be able to start? What exactly is a gap year? I am involved in my sorority as recruitment, fundraising, and intramurals chair, in 2 honor societies, will be starting my shadowing during Christmas break, I work in an office in the hospital, my gpa is a 3.7 with room to grow, and I'm very motivated. Sos! Help!
