Chem 2 (I took Chem 1, 5 years ago prior to 2021)
Phy 2 (I had AP credit for Phys 1)
Started studying for MCAT (Winter break, MCAT in April)
Winter:
Bio 2
Chem 3
Ochem 1
Spring:
Ochem 2
Phys 3
APPLY TO MED SCHOOL!
Summer
Bio 3
Fall 2022
Biochem (Optional: only took it because my school needed it)

This is really insightful as I will also be doing a postbac as a nontrad before applying to med school! All the best!

    • @jessicakent308
      @jessicakent308 7 місяців тому

      Good luck with the postbac :). Yes, medical schools do not require you to have all the pre-reqs completed before applying to medical school. You just need to have all the pre-reqs completed prior to enrollment/matriculation (usually around May for most schools I believe). However, having some pre-reqs completed prior to applying is important to show them that you can succeed well in these classes.

    • @jessicakent308
      @jessicakent308 7 місяців тому

      I did not do a formal post bacc program. I ended up taking the pre-reqs at various 4-year colleges and some community colleges in the area (sometimes up to an hour away) so that it would work around my work schedule. Yes they were in the evening. Some of the classes were hybrid with lectures online and only lab inperson in the evenings. The colleges I took the classes at were by no means large universities. I personally feel that it is okay to take the pre-reqs at a community college or 4-year college and not necessarily a big university such as UW-Madison or the University of Washington or UCLA per say as long as you had an undergraduate degree at a well-established university to prove that you can handle tough courses.

      www.mcatbros.com/mcat-studying-resources (just scroll down and you can download a digital version of the 300pg document). My advice is to just be patient with yourself. If you have been studying for a very long time for the MCAT ie. 4 months without much score improvement, reflect if it is truly the content knowledge you are lacking or the way you are approaching/understanding the question. Good luck!!

Prior to my MBA, I worked full-time as a Patient Oncology Coordinator and a year volunteering at a Children's Hospital. I also had other experiences from working as a physical therapy intern and volunteering with the Vasculitis Foundation. In terms of doctor shadowing hours, I didn't have many hours as a traditional applicant (ie. less than 40 hours?) I don't remember specifics.

    • @jessicakent308
      @jessicakent308 11 місяців тому

      Sure, but take it with a grain of salt as I scored pretty much similar to my first practice exam and the real exam. I would do the AAMC CARS question bank or Jack Westin, I felt like those were most helpful. With each sentence, as I read I would summarize back the gist of the main point of the sentence. This helped me get a full picture of what was happening as I read and actively recalled the passage. Sometimes with questions, it's more about excluding which answer is wrong and then selecting whichever one was left, if I got stuck on a question. I know it's easy to highlight everything in the passage but try to be selective on what you highlight, such as key words or main points (opinions, events, etc) in the passage.

      My bachelors was in business. I love healthcare, but at the time I was scared to take the prereqs and apply to medical school to change careers so I thought maybe I'll try a healthcare focused MBA. I realized I love healthcare but what I loved too is working with patients. I missed that so much when I left my old job. I also received a merit-based scholarship for MBA so it covered nearly 100% which I was so thankful for and thus completed my MBA prior to MD.
