This was the absolute truth. While some of it is hard, the point is, if you are determined to do it, you will and it will happen when the time is right. That seemed to be my issue, was time. Advice from a much older current M. Med school is hard work, but not impossible to do. Everything you do in undergrad will come back in one way or another somehow when you get into your desired program.

The advice of jumping ship and immediately applying to an overseas school before you have even exhausted all options of a MS or PhD degree, is bad advice. Which brings me to another point…When you see that you can go through an MS in Biomedical sciences in 1 year and transition into med school, this is where most students mess up and end up in overseas schools. They assume that because they got a 2. It took you 4 years to earn that 2. Think of it…overseas schools have lower requirements, only want money, teach you by overloading you with work and no guidance, no real gearing for USMLE passing with a good score, and no chance for residency at the end.
Not the mention, you went 4 years and probably had to take our hefty private loans with ridiculous interest rates. Not worth the time or aggravation.
So, bottom line, take your time and do it right. Your email address will not be published.

The only thing that matters is that you are in an environment that YOU can be successful in. Similar to the discussion of AP credit in high school, taking community college courses for your pre med requirements can be a risky proposition.
Every medical school has its own policies on accepting community college credit. You do not want to be left worried about squeezing in one more class prior to graduating to get your prerequisites for medical school met. This is another situation where you should call around to each medical school you want to attend and find out what their policy is on accepting community college credits. If I told you that there are only 2 majors that you can major in for medical school, biology and chemistry, what would you say?
Lucky for you, I would be lying. So what is the best major for medical school? We covered that question HERE. Many people quickly state that there is no such thing as a pre med major. This would be inaccurate. The pre med process should go off like a well choreographed dance. Unfortunately it typically is more like a waltz performed with someone with two left feet. Having a plan, and following that plan is essential. We put together a pretty comprehensive Timeline for Medical School to help you create that plan.
Here you will learn when you should be talking to your pre med advisor, getting involved with volunteering, and preparing for the MCAT. Along with our timeline, the other invaluable resource will be your Pre-Health Advisor. Just remember that a lot of their advice is generalized and you must take the time to do your own homework to validate some of the advice. A very important aspect of your application is your volunteer experience.
You need to take your time and find worthwhile, enjoyable opportunities that you can spend quality time with. One solid, quality experience that spans several months or more is much more valuable than several one-day volunteering gigs that you do just to fluff up your application. Remember that during your medical school interview, you will discuss many of these volunteering experiences. A memorable volunteering opportunity will show as you talk and your interviewer will be able to see how much it meant to you.
With roughly 25 test dates a year , the MCAT challenges your core knowledge of the classes that medical schools require. MCAT prep can be a second full-time job, after being a full-time student, which is why you need a solid plan when preparing for it. This does not take into account your GPA, so if you follow the source link you can see what your chances would be when you factor in your GPA.
Pre Med 101 – Know What You Need to Get Into Medical School
The MCAT is the gate keeper to medical school. Score well and your chances are much better to get into medical school. Do poorly and you will be struggling to get your foot in the door. After you rock the MCAT, it is time to start narrowing down your choices of medical schools to apply to.
Every year with the release of the US News Best Medical Schools report, thousands of pre med students update their application and the list of medical schools that they will submit their primary AMCAS application to. Unfortunately this medical school rankings report is a flawed system.
