Graduted high school, went to college instantly.
Chemistry A (C), Speach (B), English A (B), Anthropology (B), History (Withdraw schedule conflict).
2.75gpa at COLLEGE A
Spring semester: I was taking Biol A, Psych A, Math, and Hist. About three weeks into the semester i completely withdrew from all of my classes and the university. No medical reason, I just wanted to take a break from school and College A was like a 40 minute drive from my house and i hated going there now because of this. I could easily BS some reason having to do with parents divorce/hard times/relationship/time off to figure out what i wanted to do in life/blah blah blah.
Fall semester: Planned on going back to COLLEGE A. Waited too long to register for classes and would have only been able to get crappy times/teachers. So i decide to take this semester off again. No good reason yet again but i guess i could still BS some reason like above. Still 2.75gpa at COLLEGE A.
Spring semester 9 Credits: Finally back and at a new college 10 mins away from my house. Everything from 1st college transfered over. Took a light load and just basic general requirement classes. My math was a remedial so not college credits...
Math (A), English B (A), Music (A), History (A), University (withdraw schedule conflict).
Summer semester 9 Credits:
Biology A (A), Pre-Calc (A)
Fall semester 15 credits:
Biology B (A), Chemistry B (A), Physics A (A), Political Science (A).
Spring semester : Physics , Organic Chem , and two 3 credit major classes.
Summer semester : Organic Chem
As of right now this is what I have:
2.75gpa at COLLEGE A.
4.0gpa at COLLEGE B.
47 Credits Completed
Do all of the W's look bad? I withdrew from all classes one semester, and then there are two single W's in different semesters. Is this going to be a problem? How bad does this look when im applying to med school? Do my light course loads look bad too?
As you can see I was only at College A for one semester and I have a 2.75 there. At my new college I have been there 3 semesters and have a 4.0 (4 of the classes being pre med req science classes). Does this look ok and if i keep going at this rate will i have a good chance at getting into a US med school?
My years are all messed up as you can see, so when should I take the MCAT? based on the timeline i have up there.
I still dont have a major, but i do know that im not going with the typical biol or chem major. Going to do something different (possibly psych or s/thing with comp, maybe even business).
What other science classes, besides the premed reqs, should i take?
My dad is an allergist here in town and i work at his office during the summer and now during the school year. I am starting to volunteer at a hospital aswell and I plan to shadow one of the plastic surgeons in town during the summer. Im scared because of how I messed up early on and how I am behind now. I just need some reassurance that if i keep up the grades and do good on MCAT I have a good chance at getting into med school.
