Hello - I am new to the forums here, I am in a sort of unique situation in my life and I am interested to see if there are others who have had a similar experience and how they fared. Currently I am a year away from completing my undergrad, and my major is Computer Science. I decided about a year ago that I am really interested in pursuing medicine. I'm an Air Force veteran, former intelligence analyst and am attending college right now on my GI Bill benefits. Presently I have a 3.76 GPA, I have been taking 5 classes per semester on top of a full time job. Additionally, I'm a single parent to a 3 year old son. My wife left us and left the country several months ago. When she left I nearly gave up on this dream, but I've decided that I still want to move forward. I know it is going to be extremely difficult and I know when/if I start medical school I will need to make that my focus and give up the full time job. I am hoping I can survive that time with student loans and scholarships. Another issue is I have not taken the science courses I need so I'm going to have to do a Post-Bacc premed program. I'm wondering what the most cost effective way of doing these courses is? I feel that even in my unique situation, I am up to the challenge of medical school. I've worked extremely hard over the past few years, and have taken on full course loads with a relatively decent GPA. I am interested on hearing everyone's advice.
Thanks!
Ryan
