Thread 'Seeking School List Advice'

Stats 28 Male Non Traditional

Colorado resident for 25 years with CU Anschutz being top choice of schools

In undergrad I was a very unmotivated student: 3.1 GPA Environmental Science with a minor in Biology

In 2021 I became an EMT with hopes of becoming a Paramedic and found myself interested in becoming a doctor. Asked a lot of questions about what being a Doctor entails and shadowed some ER docs and decided it was what I wanted to do (not necessarily EM). I went back to do a Post Bac I am currently in my last few classes. I have a 4.0 as a Post Bac. MCAT score: 514 (130,128,129,127)...
