Hi! I currently work in the corporate world and am looking to apply next cycle, so will be hopefully moving to a CRC job. I also have Orgo series + lab, physics series + lab and biochem to complete as prereqs. The town i live in unfortunately does not offer night classes, so it is either community college or online courses. However I am an adult and need to pay bills, so need a full time job.

I know that online courses seem to limit the # of medical schools I will be able to apply, based on the AAMC data, so I am leaning towrads in person courses at the local community college. However I also do have a CRC gig hopefully lined up which would be amazing in geting clinical experience and research (which my app is weak in) and connections with doctors/PIs!

Anyone have experience with a CRC job and know how flexible they can be with courses? Or have experience with doing online courses instead? Or have some insight on which experience - prereq vs CRC job -- could be more helpful to prioritize for my applicaton in the short term?

Thanks!
