Hi,
I am currently looking to apply to med school in about 2-3 years. Here is a brief description of me:
I'm 28 yrs old. Graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 2010 with a B.S. in pre-law with a 2.35 GPA. I also have an MBA from Oklahoma State University with a 3.75 GPA. I served in the Air Force for 5 years doing acquisitions purchasing cargo jets from Boeing. I just transitioned out of the military as a Captain and am now in a development program with Medtronic to be a spine medical sales rep and have 2 years left on my current contract.
After seeing a corpectomy surgery I felt an urge to become a surgeon. Most of my science classes are B's and C's. So I was wondering how other non-trads have gotten over this? Did you drop everything and go to a postbacc program or were taking classes at a local community college sufficient? Or did you not have to retake these science classes at all?
I appreciate your input.
Thank you!
