<p>Kristin5792, Thank you. I’m glad to say that I’ve taken into account 97% of what you’ve said prior to posting this thread. It’s just that I want to do EVERYTHING in my power to ensure I meet the criteria fundamentally for all the desired schools I plan on applying to, as would any premed who’s serious about their career in the medical field. I just don’t want the adcoms to have any reason to render me unprepared or uncapable of handling medical school course work because I happened to go to a CC first rather than a 4-year…does that make sense? I know that I have what it takes to give me a certain edge as an applicant and I’ve already set the bar EXTREMELY high for myself ever since I’ve decided to become a physician. I’ve spent months and months of my senior year in high school doing extensive research upon research on what it truly takes to become a physician and I know in my heart that it is my true calling and I’ve practically encoded it into my DNA to work my ass off and fight tooth and nail to get there. I appreciate ALL of your advice! Thank you again!</p>
