Hello. I am 41 year old "extremely" non-traditional pre-med student. I am so glad to find this resourceful forum.
I am planning to apply for University of Colorado School of Medicine AND Rocky Vista Osteopathic School of Medicine in 2018. I prefer to stay in Colorado while I will be in medical school since my extended family lives here. My cGPA is 3.63 and sGPA is 3.72. I have not yet taken the MCAT. I am planning to retake most of my science classes since they were taken for more than 10 years ago. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Nursing. My graduate school GPA is 3.92 (probably not a factor for the medical school). I have over 10 years of RN experience, and 1 year of Nurse Practitioner experience. I have realized that my clinical knowledge as an NP is somehow limited, and I would love to learn more about medicine to help my patients. Most of my clinical background has been on the military as an active duty officer and VA medical systems. I hope my clinical experience could be a positive factor when applying for the medical schools. My primary and only interest is working at a military facility after graduation. Therefore, I am interested in the HPSP program, and internal medicine residency at a military medical facility.
Thanks.
