Hello,
I am a 27 y/o student in my last year of undergrad. I've had an unusual path in school. I'm currently in an accredited program online. I'm graduating with a B.S. in Biology (transferred in labs from a community college). I have a 4.0 GPA.
I'm also a volunteer EMT. I think this experience, as well as being chronically ill as a child, has me leaning towards working in an ER...
My question is, what path do you think would be most effective for me?
I'm thinking of doing some sort of pre-health post-bac program. That way I can do some hands-on learning again, before the MCAT and applying to med schools. I just wonder, would it be odd since I've already majored in Bio?
Does this seem appropriate or should I just go for the MCAT and med school applications straight away?
I want to be taken as a serious candidate, and I feel a little intimidated by the fact that I'm getting my degree online. I know times and technology are changing but I figured I'd ask opinions.
Thanks!
