Hey all,
So I'm a 27 year old RT(r) who's been working at a level 2 trauma center for about 4 years. I've been taking courses for about 2 years part time with plans on applying to PA school after completing my bachelors and pre-reqs. However, I've decided to pursue medical school instead at this point.
CumGPA~3.2
I still have, well, basically all of my med school pre-reqs to go. I completed my associates in radiography, and am about 4 semesters away from completing my bachelors through a program which converts my A.A.S. into a Bachelor's in Radiography.
I'm concurrently taking Radiography courses through the 4 year Uni, and taking the few gen eds I have left through my local community college where I received my Associates. I'm a little worried about some of the Med School pre-reqs though.
Is it okay for my to knock out the majority of my pre-reqs at my community college when the time comes? I'm talking Gen Bio 1&2, Physics 1&2, Org Chem 1&2, Bio Chem...
Will it hurt me that I have to retake some of these due to it being more than 5 years at time of application to med school?
I feel like I'm in a particularly non-traditional track, and would greatly appreciate any input.
