Homemade Pre-Med program

[New User]

So did you basically earn a degree from Excelsior and then do your own Post-Baccalaureate program at a community college and local university?

Yes

Was the university a big name university?

No, just a regular public state university.

Did you have any problems taking classes at the B&M college/university since you already had a degree?
(What I'm wondering is -- did you have problems as a non-matriculated student at the B&M registering/finding a slot for classes?)

I seem to remember maybe I was at a different priority level for class registration at the university as a post-baccalaureate student taking organic chemistry, but the classes weren't full, so there were no issues. And I never had problems at the community college.

How did you do on the MCAT?

About the same as the average matriculant. Nothing crazy.

What was your degree in at Excelsior?

BSLS

What kind of grades did you get in your science courses?

All A's.

Did you take any science courses at Excelsior that were repeated at the B&M college/university?

No. I only took 3 courses from Excelsior + that library class.

Were you a traditional high school graduate that went to college right away or were you a non-traditional student?

non-trad

If non-traditional, did you have experience in the medical field?

None. I did some volunteer work in a dr office and did some shadowing the year before I applied, but that was it.
