Ok, here it goes...
I am a graduate from a 'Most Competitive' liberal arts school, I was admitted to that school from a community college. I went to that community college because I have a checkered past, I totally recovered from my checkered past and turned a new leaf, I worked my tail off at that CC, maintained a 4.0 GPA over 3 years and in essence, made up for everything I missed in HS.
I kicked booty in my undergrad, graduated with honors, inducted into the honor society at the school, didn't know if med school was for me, because I took ZERO sciences in HS, yes, because I was such a punk, I was passed through the public school system without taking a single science course.
When I got to undergrad, I had zero idea what I wanted to do, I instead, focused my time in CC getting to the best school I could get to, as soon as I got there, I was clueless as to my aim. I took the liberal arts curriculum, and narrowed it down to Religious Studies with premed concentration. However, I would have had to complete premed in 1.5 semesters.
Now, here's where it gets hairy.
I was up for the challenge so, I took Gen Chem I, Gen Chem II, O Chem I, O Chem II, Gen Bio I, Gen Bio II all at extension schools IN ADDITION TO MY UNDERGRAD CAREER and one at the CC I graduated from, I got 10 As and 2 Bs. I took Physics at my undergrad school, got two Bs. I also took calc i and ii there and got two B-'s, I completed all of premed in a span of a year and a half, but, I took those courses at extension schools. I also have a ton of math courses at the CC, all of which I got As on, which may count for my BCPM GPA. The undergrad school I attended got frustrated that I took the classes elsewhere and the committee did not write me a letter for my premed after I graduated.
Now, not feeling ready for the MCAT, I have taken two years since I graduated and worked for a non-profit that helps men and women with developmental disabilities and I thought I would apply to career-changer Poctbaccs. I got into some great postbaccs, but, then, upon admission, I realized that I may be investing $80,000 to prep me for the MCAT and give me a committee letter.
What the heck should I do? Should I go to the postbacc? Should I just prep for the MCAT on my own and re-apply to med schools?
Any advice would be appreciated.
