Hello all, I would like to get some advice on what I should do. Hopefully by people who have been in the same boat as I am and have made it!..
Ever since I was a child I knew helping others was something I had a really strong passion for. Though it wasn’t until I became hospitalized at 18 with an eating disorder that I realized how much I was intrigued by the human body. Being lectured on the importance of eating and how my brain needs all the energy it can gets, really intrigued me (my doctor was a science fanatic who always went Into depth in regards to anatomy, abnormal labs, how glucose/bilirubin etc function). I was then hospitalized 9 more times and developed a relationship with the doctors who took care of me. I was able to shadow them, do some volunteering at the hospital and even a research Internship on the effects of drug abuse.
During my hospitalizations i was attending a community college and later on transferred to a university - my doc advised me to withdraw to focus on my health but me being stubborn, I refused. I wish I had listened but unfortunately, we can’t go back in time.
Long story short, I am now 23 and want to know if I still have a chance. I left the cc with a 2.74 gpa and the university 0.017 gpa (i know horrible!). To earn my bachelors I still need about 60 credits. Would It look better if I completed the rest of my degree with good grades and then apply or finish my bachelors and then do a post bacc?
sorry for kind of rambling. typing on the iPad is a bit of a challenge
