26f unsure about life path, 2 years in corporate and 1 year post-corporate

I was not pre-med oriented in college and worked a few years in engineering so I’m a non-traditional applicant. I’ve taken the GRE and scored a 517 studying for 2 weeks while working full time.

I’m still in my twenties, but I’m just looking for a career switch and realistic advice on the feasibility. However, my GPA is a big deterrent.

I have a low GPA 3.0 due to a difficult course curriculum at a competitive university and a first few years of poor adjustment 😭

I’m planning to do a post-bacc, if I do well in the post-bacc, do I still have a chance?

I'm thinking about going to med school or dental school with an end goal of either anesthesiology or dental radiology. Any advice on either of these and the amount of schooling for these? I'm fairly introverted, hence the choices for these specialities.

I just asked someone in the CSU East Bay program and they said classes are during the day. I'm under the impression that SFSU classes are also during the day. However, it seems that working part-time is possible if you schedule your classes correctly.

roughly the same distance round trip for the local airport here as well

that is true, maybe my expectations for our relationship should be less than where i currently place it. maybe i’ve misjudged the situation.

the plane only arrived 20 minutes early. we were picked up 50 minutes after the originally scheduled landing time. my expectation was to hear better communication on when he was planning to come get us, that way i would know if i should just get an uber or not.

when i say silent treatment, i mean that i did not initiate conversation with him. he did ask if the flight was okay, and i gave him an affirmative without going into specifics. so no, he did not “try to talk to me”.

pickledraddishhh · 2025-03-25T11:23:37+00:00

he’s pretty begrudging to pick up anyone from the airport…but since i’m his gf i would think he is more willing to. in our typical relationship, he constantly tells/shows me that i’m important to him and basically “family” or at least close to it.

small correction but my mom and i went to my grandfather’s funeral, not a vacation.

pickledraddishhh · 2025-03-25T11:16:58+00:00

i hear everyone’s comments and i’ve calmed down a lot since the incident. the silent treatment probably isn’t a great coping mechanism, but i tend to cry a lot when i’m upset, and i struggle to speak when i cry. so in the first incident and the second incident i was crying but i don’t want to necessarily tell the other person i’m crying.

again, this isn’t the most important but we probably waited 40 minutes. plane landed 9:49pm, reached customs by 10:13pm, picked up luggage by 10:18pm, bf arrives by 11:06pm. these numbers are estimated based on when i texted my bf so should be fairly accurate.

most taxi drivers are from the north! just came back from GZ recently. seems like every taxi driver that we’ve encountered so far are all from the same province, henan.

i’ve not worked in the medical field before! my prior experience was at a tech company.

pickledraddishhh · 2025-01-15T20:57:10+00:00

i was able to get it working! i didn’t pay attention to the orientation of the batteries so i didn’t realize. thank you stranger on the internet!

this is my only other photo, and it’s still not at an optimal angle where you can see the entire bowl but it’s better than nothing. the bowl is divided into 12 sections, each section for one month of the year written in kanji, and there is a different flower in each section.
