Hi guys, I'm a non-trad. , female 28, soon turning 29. Currently taking pre-reqs. And hopefully will take the MCAT next year. Just wondering if there are fellow non trad's in the Atlanta area? It would be nice to get together sometime.

Hey there. I guess I am considered a non-trad as well. I am about to turn 22, finishing up a bachelor's in Spanish Lit at GSU and hoping to get into the Agnes Scott post bacc program.

If anyone is getting together around Atlanta, I'd love to join in the fun!

I still am. I'm not sure how to do it well via SDN, but it would be good to, at the very least form some kind of support/study group...lol. What year are you planning to matriculate?

Are you currently in Atlanta? We can set-up some meeting times throughout the week after completing our self-assigned homework.

It seems like we have a good group here. Maybe we could try an initial meeting just to see who is really interested and then discuss goals and stuff. It might be hard to have a strict "study group" since we'll all be at different levels, applying for different cycles. We can definitely help keep one another on track though.
 
I agree, any suggestions on time or place to meet, when everyone is available ? We could do a weekday evening or the weekend.
 
Both Weekday evening and weekends work for me. We can meet tomorrow after 5pm in the midtown area. There is a starbuck on 14th, 5th, and Peachtree. We can decide from there about setting up a schedule and just figure out where to go from there as peudamour suggested.
 
Does 6:30 pm or maybe later tomorrow work for everyone?

For me, if we plan to meet during the week I'm available after 8pm. I'm not sure if that's too late for you guys or not. I'm free all weekend though!!

That would be better for me too. The later, the better for me.
 
I am ok with after 8 pm too. Should we agree to meet at 8:30? How is parking at the starbucks on 14th and Peachtree? I was thinking if they do not have free parking, there's a starbucks further north on Peachtree Rd with plenty of free parking.
 
8:30 works for me. Whenever I pass the starbucks by 14th, it seems pretty crowded around that time. Free parking sounds great to me but, whatever is convenient for you guys I am ok with.
 
There's one at 2900 Peachtree Rd, there's a Barnes & Noble there too. Seems like there's 4 of us so far.
 
8:30 works for me as well. I'm definitely in favor of free parking.

Based on the reviews, the parking is free for the peachtree starbucks and barnes and nobles.

Hello there. I just had a chance to look over the topics that yall are studying and it does not look like the kind of stuff that I am currently doing. I'm not ready to start prepping for the MCAT at this point, so I don't think it would be very helpful for me to attend.
 
Im still working through the section topics from our last meeting. But, if the meeting for tonight is still on, I will be there.

Hi everyone - I was wondering if this group still meets or has any advice for a non-trad looking to take some pre-req classes in the area.
 
Hi. I know this is a few months old, but I am a non trad... 26 years old. Spelman Bio grad with Masters and Doctorate (grad May 2015). Hoping to take MCAT in Jan and apply next year. Are you all still (or have you already) formed a study group? I'd love to join!
 
For those od you applying to ASC, have you submitted apps already? What sort of GRE scores do you all have?
 
does anyone want to study for the mcat on Skype
