I graduated in 2003, and will finish my MPH this December with a 3.75-3.8 gpa. Just wondering if there are any schools out there that are "friendly" to people with other experiences, degrees (ie MPH) etc. This is my current list. You can probably tell that I want to stay in the MidWest...I love it here!!!

186 Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine Dream...
116 Creighton University School of Medicine
139 Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medici
141 Medical College of Wisconsin
110 Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Scien
812 Rush Medical College
164 Saint Louis University School of Medicine
111 University of Chicago - Pritzker Dream...
131 University of Iowa, Carver College of Medicine In state
134 University of Kansas
148 University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine
149 University of Nebraska College of Medicine

Does Minnesota consider Iowa in-state (I think they do S. and N. Dakota)? I thought UM-Duluth looked pretty good, but only for in-staters.

I dont know what your undergrad was like, but Northwestern apparently loves non-trads as well. You'll need good MCAT's and at least a decent ugad gpa (>3.4), I'm sure. Give them a shot--its as midwest as midwest gets. plus they're campus is absolutely the most beautiful and awe-inspiring I've ever seen. Its a block away from the magnificent mile and has amazing lake views.

I am a midwestern non-trad myself. You will have little trouble applying to any schools, as long as your numbers add up. Most schools are quite happy to have non traditional students join them. Graduate degrees or degrees other than bio/chem are not looked down upon by schools as long as you meet prereqs and perform well on the MCAT.

U of I has a student in his 50's right now. Many majors and grad degrees are represented at most schools. Don't worry about being non trad.

Unless you started college late in life, I wouldn't consider graduating in 2003 as being non traditional.
