Hello all,
I am a 23 year old who is almost done with transfer credits from a Community College to a UC. I will be majoring in Biochemistry-Microbiology. I currently am getting straight A's in all of my classes (Gen Chem, Anatomy, Cell Bio, Calc, Physics). I plan on taking the MCAT one year after I transfer.
I started college relatively late after high school, however I have opened my own cafe in that time, which was a huge endeavor for a 19-22 year old. Also, I have always taken care of my mother who is suffering from a degenerative motor neuron disease (PLS). She is completely bed bound and 99% dependent on me for daily needs.
I am beginning to do some research at my University, but because I take care of my mother most of the time outside of class, I have no time for volunteer/shadowing/extracurriculars. My question is, would this be a hindrance in applying to Med school one day, or will it count as clinical experience?
Thank you
William
