Sorry for all the background info, but I think it's pertnant to my situation...A little input from my friends would be nice; first a little about me, non traditional student (25 with a degree from a state university in comm / esci and an unmotivated gpa of 2.9) Went back to school at a new university doing an informal post bacc after realizing Dschool was for me...so far have completed all but the 2nd physics and Ochem and have a 3.2 gpa (a B- in Ochem I brought it down a bit)..the school I am currently at is in a very rural area with litte to no job opportunities to pay for school.

In my previous degree I had a couple transfers chasing an athletic career....didn't work out. Now I've been offered a nice job on the other side of the state that will be a big help in paying bills and won't cut into my studies too much while I take Ochem II Phys II and Biochem and maybe another Science booster. My question is will it be a red flag if I transfer to a less prestigious university but do well for the remainder of my pre reqs? Or do you think that because I have proved I can handle science courses at a major university I will be okay considering I do well (all A's at the lesser University?

Any and all input is greatly appreciated

If you do well in the pre-reqs, and score well on the DAT, it does not matter where you went to school. If you went for a better paying job and you can still take your classes, I say go for it! The key here is keeping grades as your first priority.

Great advice.

You'll be fine as long as you take your classes at a 4 year school vs a CC.

You are going to need to 4.0 the rest of your post-bacc courses. A 3.2 gpa in post-bacc with a 2.9 in undergrad is going to be quite the uphill battle to get into D-School. You will probably need to take more than the pre-reqs and show your academically capable of a high GPA OR crush the DAT with a huge score. If this job you are taking will affect your ability to get anything besides a 4.0 from here on out its not worth taking.
