I wish that were an option but I'm trying not to leave work until this december so I can get some savings accumulated. Unfortunately, it is the kind of job that doesn't leave room for any classes, so I'm stuck starting next spring. Since I'll be in school full time, perhaps this schedule would work:
spring 14: bio + chem + phys 1 w/ labs
summer 14: bio + chem 2 w/ labs
fall 14 orgo 1 + phys 2 w/ labs
spring 15 orgo 2 + biochem
MCAT in June/July
The spring 14 course load would be rough but I think since I'll be leaving my job, that I could still handle it while making good grades. Has anyone taken a similar course load?
That's a good question about the course load...don't feel alone, this Fall I'm taking A&P, Gen Chem 1, and Physics 1. Should be fun, right?
Why are you taking A&P? Seems unnecessary and not required.

A&P is a blast and I don't care what anyone says it can only help during gross anatomy. Marginally sure, but help nonetheless. Besides look at all the websites that have recommended extra bio courses and A&P is always one of them along with microbiology( perk of being a non-trad nurse is already have taken these!)
Agreed - I had a lot of fun in A&P. Pathophysiology was also so much fun!
Fortunately I have a friend who just went through his post bacc here in town and can give me some first hand insight into what the classes are like around here. Also, I just realized that I probably wont need to take the physics labs. I already took physics 1 and 2 + labs in undergrad and I was planning on taking them again as a refresher but surely I wont need the labs.
