I am truly between a rock and a hard place here and would really appreciate anyone time and opinion. let me layout my situation:
First 1 year of college I failed 4 courses <-- I was responsible by not attending class drunk the problem was that left no classes for me to attend <-- will probably leave this bit of info out the pers. stat.
After the first year things got a little better but not amazing here are the stats:
Chem I = C II= C Lab= B
OCHEM I=B II= A Lab= B
Bio. Intro. I=A II =B
Cal. = C
Physics I=C, II=B <-- took adv. Phys
Eng.= B
Sci.- 2.8 Overall- 2.75
- Not amazing I know, my upper level sciences is a bout a 3.3.
- My EC's aren't great--> std. shadowing, volunteer, I did take time off between 1st and 2nd years to play golf professionally.
- Alot of research --> 1 paper now maybe 2 or 3 in next year.
- After grad. --> I am doing an internship at top cancer hospital; next sem. I will enroll as non-degree at medical school.
- I have not taken mcat <-- taken practices and scored in upper 30's but not real thing
MY PROBLEM: What do I do to get into med school: would a post-bacc help, should I do a special masters, would a traditional masters in a molecular science do any good. Please somebody help. I really appreciate any help. THANKS IN ADVANCE.
