Alright, I have a question regarding aacomas I can't figure out.

The surgical tech thing I'm doing (for a job to support myself; psych degrees are useless, so change now if you're a psych major) has both academic and professional classes. Academic are anatomy/physio and microbiology. Professional are of course the surgical tech courses. Do I put them all under professional courses, or the two bio under academic and the two surgical courses I'm taking under professional?

Also, did you guys who have taken the course put your phlebotomy class in professional or just leave it out?

Without a doubt, I would divide those science classes to academic...especially if it helps your science GPA! 😀
If it brings down your science GPA then I would leave it with the other professional or whatever. NO ONE will ever question it...if they did, you pretend you were unsure of classification.

Sounds good to me. The only downside is that now it will be impossible to hide my desire to be a surgeon from the DO adcoms. :laugh:

True...they get so many apps...that will probably go unnoticed until an interview. If it concerns you, then you can just down play it as a medical job and you're not sure what you want to do in the future.

You have me confused. Im a nurse and put all my stuff in as undergrad as I think it should be. Where did you take your tech courses? What did you use to determine whether they were professional or not?

The instructions. The surg tech thing is a diploma and not any type of degree.
