Hi all,
This is my first time posting so any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.
My name is Wesley I am starting over at the age of 29. My first career was in criminal justice, I was a police officer for 7 years and was a supervisor for a year of my time on the force. I resigned due to having a family and a near death incident I got enrolled and have begun a surgical technology program which I will graduate in May and start working as a CST. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma and have a BS in Crim Justice. I begun graduate school a few years back for a MS in criminal justice, but have gotten out of the field.
I have an undergrad GPA of 2.6 and a grad school GPA of 3.5. My last 60 hours GPA is 3.6. I am not sure which way to head after I finish my CST program.
My whole family is in nursing, but I have thought about medical school, PA school, and perfusion school.
I know I am not the most competitive due to my grades, but I would still need to take pre reqs for many of the programs. Since starting over after a few "fun" years in college I have excelled and now know how to study and take advantages of the courses. I predict all A's or all A's and a B or 2 in the prereqs.
Am I out of my mind for thinking med school is a possibility? How will my age affect my changes of getting into medical school I would be 32 or 33 by the time I begin Med School.
Thanks
W. Dean
