I graduated with a BS in Biochemistry several years ago. I barely graduated though, with a 2.0 GPA. One family tragedy after another. sister had a mental breakdown then things got better then my father past away, things got better again then the last year of college, my mum had a massive aneurysm that bled, suffered a stroke and ended up in a longterm care facility. So my academic career goes up and down. My professors worked with me through it all, thank goodness.
Right now, I'm working in the health care field and am taking some biology classes at the jc (and doing quite well). I'm 32 and the desire to go to med school has been with me seen I was 10 and I can't get rid of the desire.
I know with the gpa i have, there's no way any US med school will even look at me. maybe i've already answered my own question. think there's anything I can do to make myself a better candidate? i was considering a masters program. what options do I have or should I just give up the dream? Would I have a chance for PA school? I do have an opportunity to go to Pharm school. Should I just take that?
thanks for your opinions!
