Hi all,
I graduated in May of 2014 with a BS in Health Science from a large university in the Boston area. During an undergrad I switched my major from Biology to Health Science, where I intensively studied public health and took a lot of public health coursework at my university's SPH. I've been working on clinical trials since graduation at a well-known Boston hospital and have since been inspired to go forward with an MD. I'm trying to decide the best pathway for me to get there.
I graduated Cum Laude with a 3.48 GPA (leadership positions/great ECs/intl experience)
I took Biology II - A, used AP credit for Bio I
I also took Gen Chem I (B) and Gen Chem II (A)
I did take Organic Chemistry I (C+) and Calculus I (C+)
That being said, I would like to retake Orgo and Calc so I can grasp a better understanding of the concepts and prepare myself for the MCAT. I have some credits done, but not a good amount.
I would to enroll in a program as opposed to taking classes so I can focus full-time on my coursework and demonstrate my ability to excel and succeed with rigorous coursework. I don't quite fit the mold for the classic post-bacc or for an SMP... does anyone have any ideas for me? What would you recommend?
I'm finding it hard to find guidance on this topic...
Thanks in advance.
