Hello everyone!
As the title states, I am a non-traditional student and I am hoping to apply to medical school (MD and DO) in 2019. I am 26, a URM, a former high school English teacher (3 years in a foreign country).
I have a cGPA of 3.6something and have only completed one science class so far (Gen Chem I-B+, Lab-B) and that was 7 years ago. I am currently taking Applied Micro and Biology I (A's in both) and will complete them in May.
Looking at the posts has left me completely overwhelmed and I do not know where to start. This summer I was thinking about taking Chem 1/2 (do not remember a single thing about Chem, unfortunately).
However, I don't really know where to go from there in order to finish my prerequisites up in the most efficient way. I was offered a slot in a formal post-bacc, but would rather save money at the state college.
Options would be to take Physics and Organic together next year, but would my application be hindered with only one sequence of Bio? General II can only be taken in the Spring or Summer terms.
Also, I have heard Biochem is increasingly important? I have only taken one math class as well...
Any help would be great as I am completely lost!
Thank you.
