Greetings all, and thanks for all the help you've provided as I start a journey toward med school.
I'm 30 y/o now. Graduated 2012 with undergrad degree in Politics (took almost zero science). Honors thesis. Rhodes Scholarship nominee and Marshall Scholarship finalist. Had incredibly formative 6 year career in community organizing before deciding to pursue medicine (long story). I'm preparing to do a DIY postbacc starting this summer, and I've begun working as an ER tech, which I intend to do until matriculation (fingers crossed!)
I need to take all my science prerequisites, but my question is about non-science pre-reqs, i.e. social science, humanities. I took many, many of those in college, but they will be 10 years old by the time I apply in 2022.
Meanwhile, all my science and math prerequisites will have been completed within 3 years prior to application.
Do I need to be concerned about re-taking these non-science prerequisites?
Many thanks.
