I graduated with my BS in Biology in May 2012, applied in 2012 with a 3.56 overall GPA, and a 19 AA DAT. I applied to 5 schools and did not get in. Due to financial restraints, I was unable to apply in 2013, 2014, and well... don't think I am ready for this year. Since 2012, I had to move home to an area with limited jobs, substitute taught, and since May 2014 I have ended up in the Aerospace Industry- weird I know. In order to get the job I took out loans to get a Masters in Library and Information Science. (but thankfully, my BS and Masters cost just as much as the average BS).
I believe I did not get in because I was not competitive in my organic chemistry coursework and DAT. My plan would be to take an Ochem class Spring Semester (2016), retake DAT in May, and apply next cycle. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Does my back story matter? Am I now a non traditional applicant?
