At a major standstill in life and questioning where to go from here. I'm almost 25, and I still have a lot of prerequisites left to finish. I graduated undergrad in 6 years (really only there for 4.5--if you dont count leaves of absences and count the fact that id completed the coursework a semester before my graduation date). 2013-2019. I had extremely little involvement throughout college and not a strong enough application to land me college degree jobs following my graduation because of how little i did. Ive been working on an informal post-bac at a local university (whilst only gaining non-opt shadowing, non-opt volunteering at the same time). After next semester I will still have Physics 2/physics 2 laboratory, anat, stats, psych, biochem left. I see there are a few schools that dont require ALL of these, but for most schools id still be 4-6 prerequisites shy. I also have to get done all of my shadowing and clinical experience in order to write a worthwhile PS during that the next 8 months--which would seem premature to me (to only have discovered opt a few months before applying). Im considering waiting another cycle, but at that point id technically have 8 years of undergrad during which i had very little involvement and no real job, which i almost see as being worse. I'm at a standstill as to which to choose.
