IS A DEGREE NECESSARY

[crystalr512]

I'M AT 87 CREDITS RIGHT NOW, BUT HAVE SWITCHED MAJORS AND NO WHERE CLOSE TO A DEGREE. WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON APPLYING WITHOUT A DEGREE? I WOULD LIKE TO GET IN MED SCHOOL ASAP. I'M NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER. I WILL HAVE COMPLETED 90 CREDITS IN MAY. MY OTHER QUESTION IS ON MCAT'S, I'M TEMPTED TO APPLY W/O TAKING THE MCAT JUST TO SEE IF I CAN GET IN WITHOUT ONE.....ANY OPINONS!!!

No MCAT scores...apply to SABA (for any semester) or ROSS (for May semester). SABA is pretty easy to get into it seems. Don't know about ROSS.

yeah, the best advice would be to apply ASAP. now is the best time.

I may be wrong, but I don't think a reputable school will accept you with the combination of no degree and no MCAT. That said, I encourage you to apply if you feel like you are ready.

I also encourage you to stop worrying so much about getting older and just make sure you are prepared for success in Medical School, which may (or may not) involve completing a degree.

Best of Luck!
