So, I am still unsure how exactly I will get my science prerequisites of
biology
,
chemistry
and
physics
for medical school. The
UVA
and
UNCG
programs are great in that they can be completed in one year, but both will cost me $20-$25,000 for tuition alone. The advantage is that I can qualify for student loans, but I anticipate it would only cost $5-$6,000 to take the identical classes if I was able to qualify for in-state status at the local community college. Tidewater Community College in Virginia has chemistry I and II in the summer in intensive 5 week sessions, which is that same sequence as
UVA's
post-bac and
UNCG's
. I have heard that many college admission officers do not look highly on community college credits, however $25,000 is still $25,000. For someone who already has undergraduate student loans, making payments on those loans and paying the community college tuition may be too much. So far I have sent my transcripts (from 5 schools) to their "missing documents" department at UNCG admissions. Hopefully I will be accepted shortly.
