Hello everyone!
I don't know if this is the right place to even post this thread but I believe I would be considered non-traditional after taking a year off and being a non-science related major. I ended up taking a year off and deferring my scholarships because life happened and I needed to find out what I wanted to do with my life going forward. I took my first two years and was still indecisive about what major I wanted to pursue. Skip forward and here I am finishing my last semester as a Finance major/ Management minor. I have taken several general science courses like Biology, some chemistry and that's it. I only went with Finance because I figured it would be beneficial to learn personal financial management and could be useful outside of a career as well. Honestly, I am more interested in science and come from a background of being an athlete. I wish I would have pursued Kinesiology, but at the end of the day, I'm happy I stuck with what I chose and made a decision. My cumulative GPA is a 3.6 as of right now. I'm finishing my last 12 hours this semester and will be done with undergrad. I was looking at possibly trying to go to PT school or pre-med but I don't have any idea how things are going for pre-PT and pre-med students right now with COVID going on. If you were me with the times that we are in right now, what would be smart to do to try and get ahead with taking prereqs, post bacc, etc.? I feel pretty confident I will do well in my science prerequisite courses. Should I start taking them at my local community college next semester? Any information and even some help on what route or direction to go would be much appreciated. Basically, I just want to know if I even have a shot still with being 24 and being a Finance major?
