Hey everyone, so this is my first post to this website and I am very excited to hear so feedback.
I'm currently at a CC. Initially, I just began by taking courses like psychology, philosophy, and all the other ones IGETC recommends to take. I wasn't sure what I wanted with my career whatsoever. I didn't have any motivation, thus, performing poorly with C's and a few B's. Mostly C's and some D's.
I then decided that I wanted to do food-science and nutrition and stumbling upon a chemistry course, I loved it. I've grown up around many doctors so I know how intense it is to become a doctor; nevertheless, even with my poor standing I knew I wanted to be a doctor after performing really well in both chemistry and biology. I continued to take courses like Microbiology, Anatomy and physiology. My GPA trend was extremely high, it went from an average of a 2.0 to a 3.9. Overall, it is still low (2.42) however, I still have about 30-40 units or so before I transfer, and then many more pre-med reqs that I will take at the 4 year I transfer to.
I already started studying for the MCAT and am sure I can perform will and have decided I would do whatever it takes to be a doctor. I'm just not sure if transferring with roughly a ~3.1 ish, and then graduating undergrad with about a 3.7-3.8 is good enough due to my low GPA in CC.
I do plan to take most of my pre-med reqs in the 4 year college. Also, all the classes I got C's on where classes such as French, Music, Psychology, non that are science. If those who have a success story or have been there can share what they did and how they did it, that would be great!
I am also a firm Christian, so if you have anything spiritual from that end, please share. Thank you!
