Hey all,
I'm in quite a unique situation right now and I am looking for any and all advice on where to go from here.
A brief overview:
I'm currently a rising senior at Brown University finishing up a Business-Sociology degree, however, over the past two years, I've developed a fond passion for medicine and learning. I had kind of given up on any possibility of heading to med school because I have yet to fulfill any of the requirements. Even with my lack of hope, I have been buying the basic bio/chem/neuro textbooks from the bookstore and reading them on my own time.
Recently, though, I stumbled upon the fact that there are post-bac pre-med programs that seem to be in existence for people like myself. I know the programs can differ (sometimes vastly) depending on where they are, so I understand if advice is somewhat difficult to give.
To complicate things even further, I play soccer at school and am hoping to get a couple trials in the early spring time. Ideally, I would play for 1-2 years to make some money and further prepare myself.
After speaking with a couple close friends who are headed to med school themselves, they recommended reaching out to this community for further guidance.
I am unbelievably driven, so I know it is possible, and would appreciate any and all advice on how to plan out the next couple years.
Thanks all.
