<p>All right, I have always wanted to be a doctor since I was 8 years old. I actually want to be a neurologist. But the problem i have is unusual, graduated highschool, with a 4.0 GPA ,ACT score of 26, Salutatorian of my class. I graduated in 2001 and started to attend University but then my father left my mom and me with the mortgage, bills, everything. So i had to stop college and work to pay the bills. Since then i could no longer afford the house so we sold it but then my mother had a stroke, so i then had to help her with her medical bills. Then last year when i finished paying those off she had another stroke but thank God she is ok but her insurance covered the costs. I still want to be a doctor so badly because i know its my calling but I'm now 27. My question is how can i get into a b.s/m.d program, because i know they are highly selective, prefer in state students and those fresh out of high school. I don't want to rush it but want to become a doctor as fast as possible and i'm already older than most med students. If there is any way you guys can help me it would be so appreciated. I have talked to alot of colleges and schools that offer these programs but they just say " apply and wait to see ". If there is any way to help me on any info to becoming a doctor and not going 4 years of college , then 4 years of medical school. Or any suggestions on what route or school i should take would be great also. Thank you.</p>
<p>i have no idea about the processes of medical school but i’m sure there will be people around here that will. i just want to say that you have an incredible story to write about in your essays and if i were the ad com. i would take you straight away… best of luck, touching story.</p>
