I have planned to take the pre-med required courses starting this fall (4 months). However, some recent changes have made it possible for me to start this summer (1 month). This small difference would qualify me for standard app 2010 otherwise I'm looking at early app 2011 - losing a year.
Problem is, in order to do this I will have to take 2 summer semesters ('09 & '10) and these semesters are done in 5 weeks. The courses would be Gen Chem/Bio (09) and Org Chem 2/Physics 2 ('10). This is the only way I could get all the pre-req's and take the courses in time.
Also, I would like to work part-time while taking these courses to support partial amounts of my expenses but am not opposed to borrowing more if it means I could save an entire year of income down the road.
Is it worth it?
The course plan is listed below, thoughts?
