I've been working for the better part of 15 years to overcome some abysmal grades from when my first child was critically ill. Does anyone care to look over this excel spreedsheet and give me an idea of how high I would need to score on a post-bacc to overcome my low sgpa? My undergrad was 4.0 the last 3 years.
If at all possible I'd like to stay in my state (WI) and there are only two medical schools here, but Medical College of Wisconsin has multiple campuses and some programs focused on family practice or psychiatry. I'm very interested in psychiatry. I'm non-traditional, 37, father of 6, retired and disabled military veteran, and plan on doing shadowing / volunteering the next 1-2 years while knocking out prerequisites if I do not pursue nursing school. Pmhnp is looking like an attractive option and I've been using straighterline to knock out nursing prerequisites that won't have an effect on amcas gpa since they are regarded like ap/clep in case I choose that path; but, my heart is in medicine. I would prefer to have the education requisite to provide the best care possible.
