I don’t think Northeastern U requires the SAT for transfer students. Your GPA is rather decent for Undergrad study and transfering students. If you want to get into a really good medical school (UC San Francisco, John Hopkins, etc), try to get your GPA well above 3.5. Many of these top school normally admit students with GPA ranges from 3.5-4.0. But don’t fret. There are plenty of Medical Schools that admit students with GPA below 3.5 (Tufts University, University of Hawaii). The thing to focus on are your MCAT scores, and science GPA right now. A strong MCAT score and high science GPA can really make up for your low overall GPA. Good luck. You can contact me for more info. I know the admissions process can be really hectic. I’ve been through it once.

First of all, you can do anything you set your mind and heart to do regardless of how difficult the road may be. Don’t allow other people’s negative words effect what you want to do. Just stay focused on your goal!

Secondly, as far as what classes you need to transfer into pre-med studies, you can either get guidance from a counselor at your community college or just look up the college and see what they list as pre-req’s. I know from experience that med schools do not look at what your major was, but what your GPA and extracurricular activities were (i.e. volunteering). I know med schools require specific biology and chemistry classes (again, you can find out which classes on the med school’s website or through your counselor). You’d be wise to take Physiology and Anatomy as well. Last but not least, GED’s make absolutely NO difference once you get your degree. Shoot, Southwest Medical School in Dallas, TX doesn’t even require a bachelors degree, but rather 90 credits to enter their MD program. Bottom line, go meet with a counselor and get your classes lined up for pre-med.

I simply cannot put enough emphasis on the fact that you can do this if it’s your heart’s desire! There will be people who will tell you horror stories and try to discourage you (i.e. the amount of time and study it takes to become a Dr), but seriously, people do it everyday! We wouldn’t have so many Dr’s if it was impossible to accomplish. Once you get in to it, you just live and breath it, it becomes part of your life. If this is truly what you want to, then you will succed.

The application process is hell on wheels and you’ll have to take the GRE’s which are also a nightmare….then there’s the courseload and the astronomical suicide rates among first year med students…..good luck to ya!

costly, relationship isn’t profession comfortable quite that’s basically comfortable to the chemistry between the couples. the main needed denominator is not any count if there is that “factor” between them. Infact, i does no longer propose couples of an identical profession to marry extremely in the event that they are scientific docs as they could no longer have the skill to make a greater useful domicile. variety of professions could quite be greater proper and appropriate for the dating than the boring you “know”
