Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting on SDN, so here's a little back ground on myself.
My question is whether it is even possible to perform well with this course load. I know many people will say it comes down to hard work- I am prepared to stick my nose in the books and spend hours a day studying; however, even with a strong work ethic, would it be possible to do well in my Spring semester?
I really want to take the MCAT in Summer 2016 just so I can be part of next year's application cycle. If I delay biochem, then it would set me back another year and I would have to apply in 2017.
This is my first time posting on SDN, so here's a little back ground on myself.
- I graduated in May 2014 with a B.A. in Political Science with a cumGPA of 3.87 (my science GPA is somewhere between 3.7 and 3.75).
- Recently decided to go into medicine and I will be taking prereqs this year. Just finished my inorganic chem requirement, so I will be moving on to orgo I and physics I this Fall. I have already completed my bio requirements.
- I want to take the MCAT next Summer and apply to med schools ASAP.
