Hi everyone,
So I need some advice on how medical schools look at non-trads who have been out of school for awhile. I graduated in 2004 and have been working as a paralegal until recently. I've wanted nothing more than to be an MD and after a failed attempt at pre-med undergrad I decided to give it one more go.
My undergrad BCPM was a 2.167. I only took 12 credits and dropped. My undergrad cum was a 3.35.
After a year of post-bacc with Bio, Gen Chem and a semester of physics, I have a 4.0. If I continue on that path, will I need to take more science courses next year? Or should I just plan on taking the MCAT and applying this spring 2008?
I currently have 0 volunteer hours, but switched jobs and work as a clinical research assistant in NYC. What else can/should I do??? Is this enough? Thank you!!!!!
