Hello Everyone!
I am new to SDN and I am seeking some advice. I am 33 y/o and I have decided to change my career and pursue my life long dream to become a physician. My early undergraduate days parallel the Animal House movie and my academic performance reflects such activities. I have spent the last several years completing graduate degrees to improve my academic record. Here are my stats:
B.S. Psychology, Missouri State University, GPA 2.49 (Major GPA 2.89)
M.B.A. Business Administration, Maryville University, GPA 3.48
M.I.M. Information Management, Washington University in St. Louis, GPA 3.5
Post-Baccalaureate Premed Program, Washington University in St. Louis, (Accepted - Start in the summer of 2007)
Cumulative Student Loan Debt: 80,000
My father, uncle, and cousin attended KCOM
Questions:
If I perform well in the Wash U post-bac program, will I be competitive to apply at D.O. schools? M.D. schools?
Am I a competitive candidate for admission to a post-bac linkage program?
Given the current amount of my student loan debt, will I be able to get enough additional federal loans to cover the cost of medical school on top of what I already have?
Am I heading down the right path to pursue medical studies given my current plan?
Any advice is appreciated!
