Wrapping up my first semester back in school...

[poppie910]

..and I've got a 4.0 so far! Its been a while since I've posted in here. But yeah, im just doing the comm college thing until I can transfer, but im very proud of myself for starting out my med school goal with a bang. During the summer, I will be starting to log some community service, which will also bring me one step closer to med school acceptance. My next semester will consist of eng comp 1, college algebra, chem 1 and sociology. Im going to save as many upper level courses for the university.
but im ranting. I just wanted to give an update and tell everyone just to keep it up and hang in there, it'll be worth it in the end!!..... hopefully. Lol

Doing CC as well Grade replacement and some upper level BIO. I'd like to have done them at a 4-year uni, but the only two near me run $1100-$1400 a credit and the state school is about 30 miles away, too far to commute considering I have to be back near home for work everyday. Last summer (when I started GPA improvement) the CC credits were $83, starting this fall they'll be $90.

Keep up the good work and don't get complacent! Getting a B at a uni isn't that bad, but a B at a CC might just be a death sentence for your application.

Welcome to the back-to-school club

Congrats on your hard work paying off - sure feels great doesn't it? Try to hold on to that feeling of success; place it somewhere secure in the back of your mind, where it is within easy reach so you can pull it out for inspiration when you hit any bumps in your road.

Keep up the great work and please continue to keep us updated.

Yes it does feel fantastic! Im gaining more and more energy and motivation day by day. I WANT this challenge and I WANT this life. As do all of you as well, obviously. I will be sure to keep you all updated each semester. Ciao for now!

Awesome! I went back to school online for almost a year before changing up my goals. I'd taken a 2 year break, and I remember the victory of receiving A's. I start classes Monday for summer sem and officially embark on my scholastic journey towards med school. I'm excited and nervous, and can only hope I come back to post a thread similar to yours in another 4 months!

Again, good job : )

! Getting a B at a uni isn't that bad, but a B at a CC might just be a death sentence for your application.

Emphasis on the"might" there. Many things "might" happen - some CC's have very rigorous science courses. There is a stigma against too many CC credits and also against poor grades, but "death sentence" is too strong.
