Hi all, graduated 7 years ago with 2.78 BCPM and 2.95 cGPA. I recently started thinking of going back into medicine after working in software for a while. I don't feel fulfilled in my current role and medicine seems more doable now that I've matured. I double majored in Neuroscience and Computer Science in undergrad.
Thinking of doing a DIY postbacc - don't think I need to redo any prereqs as I only got a C in Orgo 2 and C+ in Physics 2, so I will be just doing a bunch of higher level bio classes + biochem.
I have calculated that I only need 8 credits at a 4.0 to get a 3.0, 19 to get a 3.2, 27 to get a 3.3, 37 for a 3.4. I've seen most people recommend 30 credits, but looking to do less if possible so I can apply sooner. How many credits would you recommend?
I am working full time while I am doing this to support myself, deciding between local community college ($1000 for 8 credits) vs local university ($4000 for 8 credits). I have seen mixed advice on whether community college is seen as acceptable or not, but it is much cheaper. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and looks like some of the courses are distance learning now so I can't decide between the two. Which option do you think is better?
