Ok, I need some help from you guys. Thanks in advance for reading this.
I'm 24 and have been accepted to a Top 5 Law School to start this fall. I was a government major in college and applied to law school because it seemed like the right thing to do. I've always considered being a doctor but never really pursued it wholeheartedly. I've been thinking about signing up for science classes beginning spring quarter here and trying to get through the prereqs in the next two years, take the MCAT and apply for the fall '10 class.
Couple things: what's the median age of med school candidates? would 28 be too old? will these science classes count positively towards my undergrad GPA? my undergrad GPA through LSDAS was 3.29 - will the med school calculation be approximately the same? is there any negative connotation with taking the prereqs one or two at a time as long as I do well in them?
