Hi Guys,
I am currently looking at ways I can make becoming a physician a reality. I tried suppressing my desire to become one, but I think I keep beating myself up over never applying myself to it out of fear of failure or rejection, so, this is my Hail Mary.
I have a degree in Computer Information Systems, with a concentration in Cybersecurity. My cGPA 3.05 sGPA 3.2. I currently work on Wall Street. I have began researching a little about options to get me on track, but could use some direction/advice.
At present, I have not taken the courses needed to fulfill the science requirements for Med School. Secondly, I really need to increase my cGPA to be competitive. Would it be recommended that I pursue a graduate degree program or post-bacc to get the courses needed and make myself more competitive? I’ve seen a little about SMPs, should that be an option too? Not sure if those can satisfy my science course requirements
I live in NYC and ideally would like to participate in an evening/part time program, if possible. So, any recommendations would also be appreciated.
Also, if you have one, where did you all seek out your medical mentor/advisor person. I’d love to connect with one.
