Dear Community Members,
I have read a number of conversations about the relative merits of the prospective options for career-changers and others transitioning from nonscientific academic backgrounds. After studying the discussion threads throughout this forum, however, I was unable to locate counsel that pertained to my precise situation.
I'm about to begin my third-year of law school. Not unmindful of its limited influence, I offer that I matriculated to program ranked in the top 15 and expect to graduate with honors. My undergraduate experience began at junior college and I later majored in a social science at my local university. I graduated with a 4.000/4.000 GPA and completed the following science and mathematics courses: one semester of inorganic chemistry with lab, one semester of biology with lab, two semesters of calculus physics* with labs, two semesters of calculus*, statistics, and econometrics. (Courses marked with an asterisk were completed at junior college.)
Given the awkward combination of my partial completion of the medical school prerequisites coupled with my standing as a law student, how do you recommend that I proceed with my transition to medical school?
Thank you in advance for your consideration as well as your advice.
