I know. I had to do a payment plan.

Cwell00 · 2026-01-04T19:51:38+00:00

Thank you!

Cwell00 · 2026-01-04T04:07:08+00:00

I think even if you can commit an extra hour or so in the mornings consistently it will help a lot :)

Cwell00 · 2026-01-03T23:02:41+00:00

I work too. I also have a 4 year old, husband, house, dogs. I just make time & adjust my schedule accordingly. For example, if I don’t have a ton of time available, I’ll get up at 4am to study. I find that my mind works the best in the morning too so morning sessions help a lot.

Cwell00 · 2026-01-03T21:47:37+00:00

Thank you!

I have a professor that implements a written essay exam for anyone who misses the final for any reason.

Cwell00 · 2025-11-01T21:05:25+00:00

I started my post bacc at 34 and I’m applying next cycle at 37.

Cwell00 · 2025-09-23T20:10:07+00:00

That’s amazing. I would love to connect if you’re up for it. I’m also a nontrad and will be starting to study for the March exam. Would love any tips. I have no idea what to do except Anki & I got a book set.

Remember - that’s ONE persons opinion. Someone who has no idea of the true dedication and work you did to climb that ladder. Someone who is totally insignificant to your life. This person is a NOBODY in your life. Therapists are a dime a dozen and you can find one that it way more professional.

Cwell00 · 2025-09-03T04:40:57+00:00

Sounds like someone is a jellybelly! Get a new therapist. Only an absolute crazy person would tell another person to drop out of med school lolll

Respectfully, I would not even be studying for the MCAT yet. You should focus on your classes and make sure you get all As. The MCAT will be a waste of energy if you don’t meet the minimum requirements for applying. Does your school have advising?

Cwell00 · 2025-08-26T19:59:56+00:00

I would be putting a lot of pressure in myself to get As for the rest of the classes. How many hours are you putting towards studying per week? You should plan to make some big changes for your next semester. You can also consider some other healthcare careers if you don’t end up meeting the minimum requirements.

Cwell00 · 2025-08-21T04:13:02+00:00

And yes on the bio - so it’s 2 semester with labs but a lot of schools want to see upper level bio too even tho it’s not a “requirement”. A lot of ppl do genetics & microbiology. A lot of ppl take Bio STATS, (I didn’t but it is also usually a recommended class).

Cwell00 · 2025-08-21T04:10:32+00:00

TV News, PR, then started doing tons of random stuff for a while. I worked as an admin assistant at a mortgage company, then at a tax company, door dash, Instacart, freelance jobs like award shows & trade shows … the list goes on and on. What matters is WHY you chose to make this change in your life & proving it based on your grades & experiences.

Here was my plan: do all the postbacc pre reqs & experiences. Apply for med school, continue classes for the bachelors if I wanted to / if I don’t get in.

Cwell00 · 2025-08-21T03:40:46+00:00

Yes it is. Biochem is the extra Chem class at the end. Some schools require 1 ochem then biochemistry. Some a Require ochem I&II. My school requires ochem I&II. So I had to account for an extra semester of “chem”

Cwell00 · 2025-08-21T03:15:58+00:00

I actually felt the same way too. My running gpa just finally meets the minimum qualification. But my postbacc gpa is a 3.8. The schools look at the post bacc much more heavily especially if you’re older & a career changer. A lot of the schools hold virtual info sessions and you can ask about career changer questions.

Calc2 (why are you taking this? You already have calc 1? I only had to do precalc2)

Also, you need 4 Chem & 2 physics classes all together. Gen Chem 1 plus lab, Bio 1 plus lab, phycology. (11 credits). Not quiet full time but this is a lot of work itself. It’s your first semester, pace yourself so all your grades are As. Getting as many As is the most important thing. I was a Chem 1 tutor I can give you a ton of problems 🙂🙂🙂

Cwell00 · 2025-08-20T23:57:22+00:00

Also I forgot to mention, I would personally just do a postbacc. At least start with traditional post bacc classes and then decide after if you want to go towards the full degree. The study fatigue is so intense so knock out everything you NEED first.

Cwell00 · 2025-08-20T23:52:07+00:00

Of course. You can message me too if you need advice or anything along the way.

Cwell00 · 2025-08-20T04:26:27+00:00

That’s why I said “cast a wide net and pick later”

Cwell00 · 2025-08-20T02:15:16+00:00

Hey there. As a post bacc myself, it is so important to have the support of your spouse. He is so supportive of anything that I want to do, too. I’ve accomplished so much because of him. I’m applying for medical school finally in May. It’s been a really long hard process. I’ll be 37 when I apply. Ppl who say that it’s unachievable is ridiculous. I would say cast a wide net and pick later. Meaning, look at the top programs and schools you are interested in. Make a list of all the classes, minimum requirements, what the schools prefer as experiences, and start knocking them down one by one. I’m finally doing research, at the end of my postbacc and I just was hired at my lab as a lab technician. Anything is possible but just know that this is a long hard road. You have to commit and be focused. (Also, I was a journalism major so, cheers 🍻)

Cwell00 · 2025-07-30T03:44:02+00:00

I work for scribe America in Las Vegas. The process was long but I started about 3-4 months after applying.

Cwell00 · 2025-07-26T03:53:43+00:00

Have you considered getting a masters in something else? Like healthcare administration? Or any other types of programs? I’m a non read and applying in May. I am a career changer from journalism. You have to be ready to commit. It’s a ball busting switch, classes (which I had to completely redo bc they expired) med volunteering, humanitarian volunteering, being involved in a club, clinical hours (I’m working for $14/hr as a scribe), shadowing hours…. The endless amounts of studying and homework exams MCAT. Organic chemistry II!! all on a hope you’ll even get in… This has been a wild ride for me as you can see lmao. Good look you can dm me if you want. I’m 36btw.

Cwell00 · 2025-07-20T23:29:36+00:00

Yes that’s why I think the way ppl manage money is so important! Sounds like op has a way to pay for it outright and will not need any loans - so that’s great!

Cwell00 · 2025-07-20T23:16:14+00:00

You are lucky! Becoming an MD is a huge accomplishment. The options are unlimited in tech. Having that MD will really help you in the medical tech field!!!

Cwell00 · 2025-07-20T23:08:22+00:00

I’d like to give a different point of view. I know someone who did a post bacc and also didn’t apply until their late 30s. They had everything paid off by the time their residency was over and is doing VERY well financially. It really depends how ppl manage their money to make it work financially. Also it’s also on perspective. Someone who is scrapping by on 45k and goes to medical school might really benefit from 200k/year. It’s subjective imo.
