It's extremely expensive and competitive. A GPA of 3.4 doesn't REALLY offer much. But the fact that you went back and got a GED helps. I recommend that you bone up on your math skills. You're going to need a strong background in the hard sciences -- with exceptional grades. Look at taking Statistics, Calculus, Bio I & II, Micro Bio, Chem I &II, Physics, Anatatomy and Phys.. Also look at taking at least one (two semseter) language course -- one of the things they're looking for now is your ability to speak a secondary language.
The fact that you are volunteering is great. Make sure you get letters of recommendation from physicians and supervisors. Wish you the best.

I don't know where you are or what your PTSD is about but they don't seem to know what they are doing here. The government NICE Guidelines state that the first line of treatment for PTSD is EMDR. That's short for eye movement desensitisation and reprogramming. In PTSD your brain can't process the event/s and it gets stuck on a lopp going round and round. The flashbacks make it seem as if you're going through the whole thing again over and over. The therapy allows the client to invoke the REM eye movement dream sleep to help the brain process the event and file it away, not to forget it but to not have to go through flash backs all the time and to get some emotional distance from it. Antipsychotics are not the way forward with this at all. You are right that Olanzapine is the worst of the bunch for weight gain and potential diabetes and I would not want to put you on that at all with and ED. You are not going to take it anyway! Go back and tell them you don't want this option can they arrange EMDR for you please. Good luck

This is a question you need to ask Northeastern way before you are ready to apply.Med students may be able to help you too.Becoming a doctor is very time consuming but is worth it if you put your heart (a long with all your life and your money) to it.
How about becoming a nurse? You can still help people and make money.
Good luck in whatever your heart takes you

WELL YOUR GPA IS GREAT AND THE VOLUNTEER WORK YOU ARE DOING IS ALSO GREAT. I DON'T TEST WELL ON SAT'S AND ACT'S. LUCKILY AT PRESBYTERIAN SCHOOL OF NURSING THEY LOOK AT ALL THE SCIENCES YOU HAVE HAD WITH YOUR GRADES AND DEPENDING ON THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THOSE TEST. WHICH WAS AWESOME! I'M NOT SURE WHAT ALL CLASSES BUT A FEW ARE MICROBIOLOGY, A&P I&II, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT ELSE BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK IN TO IT. GOOD LUCK! NOT SURE IF I REALLY ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION...I HOPE SO!
