I graduated college in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. That was not my plan when I entered college back in 2010. I had planned on getting a BSN then going to med school. It didn't happen that way. Now I am planning on going to interview for masters of science in Counselor education. If I get accepted, I will complete the degree in 2018. Get licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor( in North Carolina) in 2020. Will having a license as a professional counselor help with my competitiveness for med school if I decide to go to med after getting licensed? I'd have to take the science pre reqs and MCAT as well.
Also, if I don't get into the counseling program, my intent is to go back to do the science prereqs for med school. Would it be better to be a second degree student or pursue a post bacc program as far as making me competitve?
