I just received my welcome letter today and am ready to commit to Harvard Extension as a diploma seeking candidate! I am just finishing my master's program (3.97) and have to resurrect a low undergrad GPA (2.8).
My plan at Harvard is to start this summer with Chem I and II and to take Bio, Organic, and Physics in the fall and spring. Originally, I was going to be at Harvard for one year, but the thought of taking the MCAT in April of year 1 while keeping up in my course work is rather daunting especially for such a high stakes test. I plan on taking the MCAT in August, thus leaving ample time for preparation. Year 2 I will take Calculus I and II and an upper division science class (fall and spring). Also, by staying an extra year, I can strengthen my marginal undergrad GPA and possibly engage in some research experience.
I have completed my FAFSA and am in the process of sending out the additional paper work that Harvard Financial Aid requires. I was wondering what the approved budget is for Extension students as I will need to take out a private loan for my living costs. How is everyone seeking housing? I have just begun searching.
