Hi,
I'm fairly new to the board and nanaschool has been a great help with the feedback on my dilemna, but I am still trying to make a decision. First, let me give you a little background on myself...I am a 37 year-old nontrad student who has a undergrad degree in communications. I have taken a few basic science courses as an undergrad, and did well. I graduated with a 3.4 cum gpa. Now, because of life experiences in the medical field and extensive volunteer work ( at Mayo Clinic, in an alzheimers unit,research work etc.,) have decided to become a D.O. I don't feel (since I have not had any upper division science courses as an undergrad) that I qualify for an SMP. Any Thoughts? So, I am looking at Post-Bacc programs or simply going to the closest university here (ASU-West) and doing the pre-reqs myself. Living here in Phoenix, Az I also have the option of going to Midwestern-Glendale (ie., AZCOM) & taking science classes from their undergrad biomedical sciences program in lieu of getting into their SMP?
If you have any thoughts or suggestions on the route that I should take please let me know. I fully realize that I am at the beginning of this journey, but please excuse my naivete, because I could really use some help with this!
Thanx,
Sabrina
