If you are just starting college at 22, you have been out of the loop for a while – so become VERY friendly with the counseling center, so you don’t waste time, money or energy while you’re choosing your classes and planning your future.

It will be too late for you to go for your dream when you are 102!! Congratulations on getting your GED (it probably wasn’t easy), and you GO for it. Best of luck.

PS: Here’s secret – it’s not the medical school part of your “dream” that counts – it’s the fact that you have a plan and you’re on your way. You may discover some other more exciting path on your way to your dream – that’s what college is for – not only to prepare you for a career you will love, but to open your mind and heart to new experiences and perspectives. You are in a wonderful place in your life and I hope you truly enjoy the adventure as you travel along.

No, I don’t think it’s too late to pursue your medical degree. I admitted a 60-year old lady into a medical school program. It’s never too late to learn. Life is a life-long learning process.

As for your GPA requirement question, check with Northeastern University to ask about their transfer student admission requirements. I’m sure a GPA of 3.0 is more than sufficient to be admitted.

Best wishes on fulfilling your dream!

Aim high and do your best to achieve. Otherwise you’ll be working at minimum wage 15 years from now blaming your GED.
