Hi! I'm a current ICU RN attempting to make the transition to medicine. I'm pretty lost on how to structure my DIY post -bacc and if just doing the prereqs for med school is sufficient for my post-bacc. My current plan is as follows:
- Fall 22: Ochem 1, Bio 1
- Spring 23: ochem 2, bio 2
- Summer 23 : phys 1
- Fall 23: Phys 2, biochem
- Spring 23: another bio course, and MCAT prep
I've already completed the other prereqs required (psych, micro, stats, gen chem). I will continue to work full-time because I need support myself. My concerns regarding this plan are: does this plan show enough academic rigor? Should I be taking full-time hours? Do I need more than the minimum prereqs such as upper-level bio? Would love to submit for a 2024 matriculation. Current stats: cGPA: 3.45, sGPA: 3.45.
I welcome all criticism, feedback, and advice.
