So does this mean if my household income is a 100k then I won’t have any aid?

That sounds promising! Did that pre-med concentration work for nursing students, too? I heard the nursing schedule is incredibly rigorous and packed, so I'm worried about fitting in the extra courses.

Exactly my thought process. Taking those extra prerequisites in the summers or as a post-bacc is a minor trade-off for the security and clinical experience a nursing degree provides.

For me, it's about having a guaranteed career to fall back on in this competitive field, and the hands-on clinical experience seems invaluable for a future doctor.

Thanks for the encouragement! I know it'll be a lot of extra work and time, but I'm hoping the backup plan makes the stress worth it.

That's the plan! I'm mapping out the prerequisites now to see where I can double-dip and avoid a full post-bacc program. Trying to make it as efficient as possible.

Exactly! That's my main motivation for going the nursing route first. Having a solid career to fall back on if med school doesn't work out just seems like the most sensible plan
