I was not on the premed path from the get go, but gained interest through college. Did the mentoring program after graduating and loved everything about it. I never had any premed advising so just looking for some advice on what schools I should be applying to this year. I just feel like my app is weird because I have not been preparing for this over the past 5 years like premeds.

Thanks!
