Hello all,
I am a non-trad about to apply this upcoming cycle for mostly D.O. schools and low tier MD.
I graduated 2015 w/ my BSN and have been working as a pediatric trauma nurse the past 3+ years. My cGPA from undergrad was 3.7 and my nursing sGPA was a 4.0 (current GPA is 3.76). I've taken most of the pre-reqs at a community college down the street from my apartment, except for genetics and physiology at the uni.
I had $30k+ in student loans from my undergrad and didn't want to add another 10 on top of that at the university, but I am worried that this will impact me negatively in my application. I have made a 4.0 in all of the pre-reqs since starting them, the only course I haven't taken yet is orgo II and biochem (I am currently auditing biochem). I won't take the MCAT until May. Thoughts on how this might impact me?
