Hey guys,
Some background - i finished the TESU BA SS in 2017, WGU MBA in 2019, after my MBA I got a nice technical business role at a company that i'm enjoying so i've been slowly tackling the STD Comp Sci courses towards a 2nd BA in CS & Bio as well (CS classes almost done!).
Medical school is a long term goal of mine, might as well hack away at some pre-med courses too right?
So i've completed some courses through the UCBx Post-Bacc Health Professions program. But man is it expensive! the cost of completing the prereqs through the Berkeley post-bacc program is a killer, $1200 a class, double that if you include labs.
Now the question:
Would it be detrimental for med school admissions to complete the BA Biology AOS at TESU through SL/STD/CLEP*, to keep it cheap, then just take all the upper level biology/lab courses at UCBx?
UCBx has a severely robust offering for upper level biology, even a complete program called the Post-Bacc Advanced Biosciences program.
*sans ochem and other AOS classes that can't be completed via alternative testing/online classes.
