I am currently an Exercise Science major at the university of connecticut. I started out my college career as an engineer but I realized that was not my calling in life. I have always loved the human body and caring for individuals sick, recovery etc etc. I was never a fantastic student in high school graduated with a 3.2 but finding myself and what I wanted to do in life gave me a motivation I never had before. I planned to go into physical therapy after I graduated but than i started looking into possibly a medical school route, but I have a few questions that i really do need answered..but first I will list my current GPA and classes.
-Gen Chem 1 - B+
-Gen Chem 2 - B+
Anatomy/physiology 1 & 2 - A
Kinesiology - A
Physics 1 - B
Bio 1 - A
Bio-molecular science 1 - A
Statistics - A
I currently still need to take Orgo, and another physics.
My university GPA is a 3.65 but the past 5/6 semesters I have had over a 3.8 my first semester wasnt very good because I hated engineering.
1) Can I graduate and than take other pre-reqs or will this be frowned upon during review of my transcript by med schools
2) Is my GPA going to be competitive.. I don't know what else I can do to beef up my resume.. I have 500+ Hours at a physical therapy clinic as well as 50+ hours at a old folk home in a rehabilitation setting
