Hello!
I am from Russia and now pursue bachelor's degree in International Relations, GPA 4.0. I'm also a US green card holder, but I have never studied in the US. At Russian high school, I really liked biology and have 4.0 GPA, but I decided to choose political science.
Now I want to change my career and become a doctor. As I understand it, the best option is a second bachelor's degree in biology, but this is a long time and again I need to maintain a very high GPA to get into doctorate in medicine.
I was looking into the possibilities of going to medical school, dental, and find out that in the United States podiatry is a separate specialty.
I recently learned about Barry University's School of Podiatric. As they say on their website, they prefer US bachelors, but at the same time they write about TOEFL and about foreign students.
The question is, can I, after completing a bachelor's degree in political science in Russia, take courses in biology, chemistry, and so on, in a community college or maybe if they exist post-bacc for example, and get into Barry or any other Podiatric school? Or will the chances be very small and it is better to get a bachelor's degree in biology in the United States?
Sincerely
