Question

Or do I actually need 4 years at a University?

Explain this to me please. I'm totally confused!

Answer 1

If you have completed your two year associates, you would need 2 more years to complete your bachelors, then you would apply to med school.

Answer 2

To get into med school, you need to complete a 4 year program and get a bachelor's degree. You are REQUIRED to have the following classes with a C or better: 8 credits biology with labs, 8 credits chemistry with labs, 8 credits organic chemistry with labs, 6 credits english (preferable a composition course), and 8 credits physics with labs.

You are REQUIRED to take the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). It is a difficult test that tests you on what you learned in the above classes.

After good GPA and MCAT scores, you will need a letter of commendation from a professor and take an interview. It helps if you interned at a hospital or worked in practical medicine, like EMT work.

Its a tough process, but if your up to it, go for it. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Technically, some medical schools will accept advanced undergraduates into medical school without a BS. But this is rare, and unlikely to happen for someone attending a community college.

You need to get a BS (four year degree). You can apply to medical schools during your senior year. The quality of your undergraduate education is very important -- so transfer to the best four-year college that you can get into.

Most colleges have a web page describing their pre-med programs and most medical schools have a web page describing their requirements. You can also search the web for advice on getting into medical schools.

Answer 4

You need a bachelors degree or a substanial part of one before you can be admitted to med school. Looks like you need more science.

Answer 5

Zap is right. You need a 4-year college degree.
BTW, I think we are fellow Marylanders if you went to one of the CC's in Montgomery County, MD.
