Medical School?

[marianne202]

EC does give letter grades for some DSST exams, CLEP exams are just pass/fail. You do get letter grades for any ECE's or courses with them. Your transcript will have two GPA's, one from all your credits and one obtained just though them. EC also has a bachelor's in health sciences that you can specialize in management which some medical schools are looking at implementing in their programs of study, some are also offering dual degrees. They want doctors to learn the business side of medicine as well as just the medicine. If you plan to get into private practice you may want to consider this so you can have a better head for the business workings of the practice. As someone who has worked with doctors for many, many years when they get in trouble on the business side, they never thought much about it because they were too focused on just passing the medical part. This would also set you up with some skills for management positions with hospitals such a medical director etc. Just a thought. If you are going to bet a BS anyway, why not get in something that will benefit you and look good on your resume and medical school application. I would go with EC over TESC just for the GPA issue and because EC has more health science programs and reputation for such. Just a thought! Good luck!
