hi there, i live here in phoenix, arizona. i am finishing my BA(from a private school and not at a arizona state university, and this is causing me a lot of trouble) and will start to do the post bac(which will take me 1-2yrs). here is 2 problems:
1) midwestern univeristy is a private univeristy and so they accept my BA from a private university. i will be retaking some general education classes(eng, again!) at ASU because they don't accept my BA from a private school(took some general education classes there).
i can only do my post bac at ASU or community college. i wanted to get the MD degree but worry that UofA(university of Arizona) a public univeristy won't accept my BA(just like ASU) and will only look like i have only done a post bac(ASU and UofA are both public schools and won't accept my BA from a private univeristy). my pre-med advisor said that at asu looks at me like a freshmen since they don't accept my BA, so i appear like i never did anything. she thinks that i will had a hard time getting into UofA. 😕
so i guess i am better of appling to midwestern to get the DO. i don't think i will have any chances of getting a MD at UofA. i should had taught of this problem, but i wanted to finish my BA(graphic/web designer) in 3yrs instead of 4 and so i chose a private university that had this faster option.
2) i was plainning on working as a (spanish)medical interpreter to get some clinical experiance, but i have been told that i could volunteer in any other area instead or working(it seems obvious to work instead of volunteering, right?). i had been told to just volunteer, and do shadowing, but since i am a graphic/web designer i have to prove that i really want to go to a medical school and i was advise to work as a research assistant, but i am not having any luck on this. only found one research assistant at Midwestern university(i did apply) but don't know where to find more research assistant positions here in phoenix arizona. i am thinking of becoming a Rad. any help i would appricated.
How is it that BA from a private school is not accepted as a degree in public schools? BA is a BA degree where ever you get it from.
so i guess i am better of applying to midwestern university instead of UofA. like you say a BA is a BA, here is where i got my BA www.uat.edu, its a BA in multimedia. maybe its a different accredited program, so maybe that is what is not letting me go to a public med school and so i am force to go to a private med school. oh well...
i just checked my school and it says that its :
