Hey everyone,
I just started my first semester at a UC school after having transferred from a CC in my hometown. My major is in Anthropology, and I spoke with my adviser regarding taking the rest of the pre-requisite courses. I was told that since I was a Anthropology major in the Humanities/Social Sciences department, that I had to meet certain requirements in order to take ANY course through the College of Natural Sciences. Well, apparently since I've retaken a General chemistry at my CC, I am disqualified from the agreement (And I've spoken with several advisers on this matter). Here are my options thus far..
A) Take the pre-reqs at a CC nearby concurrently with my Major requirements.
B) Wait until I graduate (2018), and apply for a Post-Bacc or go DIY.
The benefits to doing the pre-reqs at the CC while at my University is that I will still have all the University resources available to me (Pre-Health advising, research, extracurriculars, etc.). But the downside is I'm not exactly sure how this will be looked upon by Medical School Admissions committees? If anyone could give me some insight or thought into the matter, I would greatly appreciate it!
edit: also financially I would be saving myself money doing the CC ( I get the tuition covered ) vs. paying for a post bacc/ extension courses.
