Hi guys! Wanted to introduce myself, I'm Aamena, I graduated college back in 2007 as a psychology major. I'm now looking to get into podiatry. (Had a long gap because I got married and had two kids) there are several pre reqs i wasnt able to complete in college. I am taking physics 2 at a community college right now and i'm planning to take orgo 1 and 2 in summer sessions 1 and 2! I also haven't taken my mcat yet, i plan to do so in the fall after i finish up with orgo! I'll be taking those at a community college as well. My cumulative gpa is about 3.3, not sure about my science. I'll be shadowing a podiatrist next month. I have a lot of volunteer hours at UMD pedoatrics and UMD shock trauma. I worked at a cardiologists office theough college as well. I always knew i wanted to get into the medical field just couldnt figure out what! I have several questions! Does it look bad that i'm taking these classes at a cc? And that too after i already have my degree? How often so non traditional students get accepted? My number one choice is NYCPM because i live in NJ and I have to stay close by because i've got two kids. Second, can I apply even before i have taken the mcats? I'm thinking to apply for NYCPM 's january term (the decelerated program) mostly because im getting into school after such a long time so that might make the transition a bit easier for me! Will schools offer interviews even if my MCAT score isnt in? The NYCPM jan cycle opens up august 1st so should i apply early and still continue with mcats and so on?
Your insight would greatly be appreciated! Thanks so much in advance
