Hey guys!
So, I'm a reapplicant with a great MCAT but not-so-great GPA. I've been working in a lab for the past year, but for this year, I was going to enroll in some classes to show medical schools that I can also succeed academically.
For personal reasons, I couldn't enroll in SMPs/one-year masters' programs. Instead, I enrolled as a certificate seeking student at the public health school in my city i.e. take five classes over the course of a year and be granted a certificate in public health (+ gain credit for those classes if I should later want to do a MPH).
But now, I was thinking of enrolling as a non-degree seeking student at the university near me and take graduate-level classes. I can't do their Masters' because it is a really small school, so not all classes are offered each semester, so I don't want to risk enrolling in and then, not finishing up my degree, if on the off-chance I get accepted.
So, my question is: How would that look to medical schools? I really want to take these classes (immunology, neurosciences) and do well, but would the fact that I'm a non-degree student look bad to medical schools? 😕
Please help me out!
