Yes, I used the search function. Looking for some broader opinions.

I'm 27, and I majored in political science, with a minor in geography. I completed university with a 3.4GPA, making the dean's list for 2013. My marks steadily improved over the course of my university career. I worked full-time (32-40 hours weekly) throughout my Ba, and volunteered at a couple of organizations (one healthcare facility, and one conservation group).

I'm currently completing a masters of geography (MA). I did not have the opportunity to take many science courses during my undergrad. I took a half a dozen biology courses or so, but no chemistry, math or physics. This semester, along with my graduate courses, I am taking first year chemistry. My plan is to take chemistry, biochemistry and organic chemistry over the next couple years - maybe one course a semester while I complete my graduate school.

In terms of life experience, I've been through mental illness, lost close friends to tragedy, travelled southeast asia extensively, learned to live with a disability, and almost ran for political office. I've pretty much seen it all.

I'm interested in healthcare. I'd love to be a doctor or dentist. Both careers appeal to me heavily. My whole life/university career I doubted my potential but I feel that I am capable of it. A recent trip to Asia solidified this career decision.

I appreciate anyone's input. Thanks.
Good luck.:luck:
