Hello all...long time lurker, first time poster! So here is my story
To be honest I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life until only couple of months ago I found podiatry BUT here are the bad news
I have changed majors >computer science > computer engineering. I pick these majors because I wanted to work with my hands. But the deeper I look into those majors the more I realized that I didn't want to be part of it. I also have no bachelors degree (only AA), but I have more than 118 credits and I only need orgo 2 to complete the requirements.
Here is the really bad part....I'm good at chemistry/bio/physio/math/etc, but I seriously suck at physics. Due to engineering being mostly phsyics/math, my gpa overall is very low (2.5 ) in university, if you average it out with college and uni course is like a 3.0), but my science gpa is 3.5 . I also don't feel like finsihing a bachelors because I found podiatry, and finishing a bachelors will most likely take another 1.5 years or so and it will be a waste of time when I could have gain experience in the field.
So my question is should...if I do apply what will be my chances of getting in? How should I approach this and essay? My number 1 choice is Barry since I live in Miami, but any other will be good as well. I also haven't taken the mcat but i'm planning to take it this april.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also I'm scare of applying due to my low overall gpa
