Hi all,
In May, I will graduate with a 4 year degree in psychology. After that, I plan on applying to med school. Here is my issue. I have done my entire degree online at a 4 year college. My prerequisite science courses will be taken in person at a community college along with the labs for the duration of this entire school year (simultaneously taking a few courses at my main university as well, total of 23 credit hours this semester, I'm in for it). I am going to transfer those credits over to my 4 year university in order to graduate from there.
Will medical schools look down upon this? Any advice on what to do and if this makes me a non-traditional applicant? I guess I'm just worried, that's the best way to put it. Any advice on how to make my application stand out would also be greatly cherished! I currently reside in Indiana, but am from Maryland and would ideally like to end up at a medical school on the east coast (New England area).
Honestly any form of advice you all can give me, I will take. My family and my incredibly small handful of friends aren't much help in this matter & I'm in desperate need of support/encouragement/advice.
Thank you so much!
