Hey everyone, here's my situation. I'm going into my senior year at a respected research university. I am a Psychology and Sociology double major in the honors college; I have a 3.84 GPA. All my life, my dream was to become a doctor (had over 5 surgeries as a child, became an EMT in high school). This all changed, however, when I took my Intro Biology course freshman year of college. I ended up getting a C+ and convinced myself that medicine really wasn't for me. Now, the summer going into my senior year, I realize that I may not have given myself a fair chance. Medicine is still the only thing I can see myself doing.
With all that said, would I be a competitive candidate applying to a post-bacc program (specifically bryn mawr, hopkins, goucher) directly from undergrad? My SAT scores are relatively low (~1150), but I have proven via my GPA and independent psychology research that I can do well. I am currently a volunteer crisis hotline counselor that deals with suicidal clients, but I'm not sure if that qualifies as adequate clinical experience (by the way, my EMT certification ran out a few years ago when I decided not to puruse medicine).
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Thanks.
