Hello, I will tell you my current situation. I am a second year business student, I will be finishing this year at the end of April. Not too sure what my GPA is but on a percentage average it is about 86%. I know of the void year in the medical process, so I was considering taking a year amid my degree to go through the medical prerequirements.
Summer Session 1 2006: Gen Chem 1 + Bio 1
Summer Session 2 2006: Gen Chem 2 + Bio 2
Fall Semester 2006: Phys. 1 + Organ. Chem 1
Winter Semester 2007: Phys. 2 + Organ Chem 2
I would take the MCAT and/or DAT & OAT after the Winter Semester and apply to schools, probably the ones where I have the most chance. Then I will continue my degree during the void year.
1. Does this sound reasonable?
2. I will be working full time with school and volunteering, will this affect my eligibility because of the course load?
3. Are the prereqs for Dental, Med, and Optom. relatively similar? Or would I have to take a Calc as well? I pretty much want to get into any doctoral program, I have shadowed all three, and I really am facinsated by all of them.
3. Any other business turned med students?
4. Any general advice?
Thanks
