I have waited to post for a long time, but I need advice more than ever.
I started undeclared at community college for 2 years. After I transferred to a 4 year state school my dad passed away unexpectedly. I wasnt able to handle it, had a bad year and failed out.
I got readmitted after a year, did retakes and got As and Bs for 1 year. Then I started doing bad again- failed molecular bio, Cs in algebra based physics and got a D twice in ochem2. I pulled it together my last semester, As and B pluses. I graduated with a bio bs overall 2.25 gpa.
Now its been a year since I graduated and I know I need a 2nd bachelors to do anything whether medicine or grad school. I got accepted into chem engineering at a community college, and if I make As can transfer and finish at a 4 year. Im in therapy, and worry often about this decision. Before I start this journey please advise if I am wasting my time even trying due to my past. Please be honest.
(No clinical experiences, research etc . waiting to do that stuff once gpa is up. Im a 1st gen college student and hispanic from a very low income)
