my situation is ... weird. haha
I just graduated from a University of CA with a 3.3 cGPA and a 3.4sGPA. I'm taking this year off to study for my MCAT and pre-write some essays (to which I can tailor to the individual med schools later on). I was thinking of taking courses at my university or at a nearby state university, but their classes fill up quickly and so it's extremely hard for "non degree" students to take these courses. plus, i can't afford to pay for classes as a "graduate" student.
THEREFORE, I was thinking of just taking a couple of bio courses at a local community college. I've already taken all of the pre-reqs at my home university, but there are still some courses that I haven't taken yet and since I'm taking a whole year off I thought I'd might as well take them. i'm not really doing a formal post bac, but i know that any courses you take after you graduate is considered "post bac".
Do you suppose it's okay to take these courses (microbiology, immunology, etc) at a community college?
thanks for any advice.
