Okay. Heres the story. Once I graduated from college with my first B.A. (psych) I began working at a UC doing research on schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It was awesome and was the job that actually made me want to go back to school and pursue medicine. I began taking a class at my local junior college, but with work conficts (aka missing my final exam) got an F in my bio I course. I took anatomy the next semester and had to withdraw, again due to work hours being too demanding. The following semester I took anatomy again, stuck it out and earned a "B", (could have got an A if work was not so tough on me). The next semester I took Chem 1A with the same type of situation happening with my job (too many demanding hours, but I tried to stick it out and earned a D)... awesome, I know. The next summer semester, I retook my 1st bio course I earned an F in an got an A (cut down my hours). This along, with realizing that my Ugrad GPA is not that hot (a 2.5) made me realize that I need to cut down on work full time and purse school full time. I enrolled as a post bacc at a local state university and through my year there I have complete all my coursework with a 4.0 GPA.
My question is, how do you guys think adcoms will look at this short period at a junior college before i started my post bacc program. I wish I could just erase it completley from my transcripts. I am scared that this big flaw in my application is going to hurt me when I apply next year.
