Hi all,
After long, careful consideration, I have recently decided to pursue a career in medicine.
I am enrolled in chemistry and physics at Tufts through their continuing education department.
I am aware of and considered the formal post-baccalaureate pre-med program, but I may apply for a masters within the year, and simply taking the required pre-med classes on my own has made more sense for me.
My question is whether you all think it would be unwise for me to also enroll in Biology this semester.
As I have been out of college for some time, I am interested in completing my pre-requisites in the most efficient manner possible so that I can achieve my goals before I get too old.
My thinking is that I could take Chem/Phys/Bio this year, O-chem in the summer, MCAT in August and apply by October (MCAT scores from August test date are available in late September).
As far as extra-curriculars, I have health policy research experience, as well as an EMT license.
Any thoughts, suggestions are appreciated.
