I'm a student in a radiologic technology program and I'm considering going to med school. I thoroughly enjoy what I do now just b/c I LOVE helping others, but I really feel like I can do more to help people. In spring I'll graduate w/ an Associates in Applied Science and then I can transfer and do like 2 more semesters to get a Bachelor's of Science in Radiologic Technology.
I've heard it's kinda looked down upon to go to a CC, but do you think it would be okay considering RTs primarily receive certification through CCs? The only pre-med class I've taken at a CC is BIO 101 and I plan to take the rest of them at a four year institution.
My GPA right now is about a 3.7+. I know it's a CC but as far as Allied Health Programs go it's been ranked 9th in the nation and I'm top of my class. Furthermore, the x-ray program is probably the best in the state.
Should I get a BSRT or just start over as a biology major which would take an additional 2 years for me? I've heard unusual degrees sometimes have a better chance than your standard Bio or Chem degree and I don't think too many x-ray techs are going pre-med.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
