Just a pre-med....

My pre-med advisor used to advise all of us to avoid trying to do pre-med reqs at a community college. If I were you, I would enroll in a post-bach program to get all of your pre-med reqs taken care of at one place. Do a search on the internet, there are some very good ones out there. I know that a local college in my state has a post-bach program that sends students to places like Wash U med and Harvard, if you are interested in a program in Maryland, do a search at http://www.goucher.edu

 

Oh you must change your avatar. Only I can use Twain.

 

Dude, play nice. That was his first post. First say, "Welcome to SDN!" and then tell him he has to change his avatar.

 

Oh my bad. Welcome to SDN buddy. Greattt to have you along. Now change that avatar. You dig?

 

actually i think "Frost Weasel" had that avatar before u, centrum.

 

Centrum is a poser! Well, what do you expect when you don't customize your avatar?

 

I am yet to see a post by Mr. Weasel, so by his long absence he has forfeited the right to Twain over to me.

 

Non-use does not indicate a forfeiture of rights to one that uses -- just ask LA and Arizona about Colorado River water.

 

Is that an invitation? Sorry, I don't swing that way.

 

Well it does in my book.....

 

Lame D. Very lame.

 

Yeah, but I'm not into smilies, so I had no proper rebutal.

 

Fair enough.

 

To the original question--Take most if not all of your prereqs at a 4-year institution. If you wanted to take a summer course at a CC that might be ok, but certainly do not take all of them there. I don't see any value getting a 2nd BS, though. Just take the classes. I also see little value in the formal post-bach programs, except the ones that give you very strong priority in their med school.

 

Hey dude, always here to make people feel welcome. heh.

 

Hey I am in the same boat, I am a BS graduate in Business Administration. I just strated my pre meds at a comunity college this week. I m taking Chem 1a and General Physics and hopefully next year i am going to transfer to a 4 yeah university. I talked with a Admission Counselor at UC Davis and he tole me that I can take the lower level classes such as General Physics and Chem at Community college and the rest i should take at a 4 year colllege.

This is exactlly what i am doing. Next year i am hoping to transfer if not UC Davis I will probablly go to Sac State. Anyways they want to see that you can do the science classes at upper level. thats my .02 cents PM if u have any questions.
