Hola,
This is a big confusion of my life. I got an admit in a medical school in eastern europe in 2003. However, I belong to a farmer family and could not afford the fees and had to switch to a cheaper option DVM because vet schools were offering scholarships (GPA 3.99). After this i came to the US for a PhD thinking that would be as close as getting to the medical school but I still find that I'm not satisfied. Though I have about 12 publications under my name and a GPA of 3.6 (multiple courses including some medical school classes), I feel I'm not doing what I always want to do. People say I have fair chances to become a faculty and I should not think of med school now. There are times when I question my choices and I think may be I'm being foolish again. Do you think starting a medical career at 35 is a bad option? I'm a female, 33, single and I'm not married. I may be marrying in the coming year, I don't know. My pre-req were all in europe but excellent. I plan to join med school in 2015. Please give me a feed back! Also what are the best places to apply for non-resident students? I'm reading for mcats and will be taking them in May 2014. Should I take in April instead? A lot of questions. So thanks for your time and help.
