Hi, I am in a real state of panic right now, if someone can help me....

20 yrs. old

Bachelor of Arts in Electronic Media Management (entertainment business) from California State University-Northridge

3.1 Undergrad GPA

Doing post-bac work at a Chiropractic College that offers all the chem, bio, physics courses in a condensed period of time, it started in January and ends in August, want to apply for Saba Jan. 2007....

Taking physics 1 & 2, though I know it's not required

A lot of clinical experience ( A LOT )

No MCAT

So far for science/pre-med:

- Bio 1 - A in lecture and lab
- General Chem 1 - B in lecture and A in lab
- Intro to Human Physiology - B
- Human Biology - B
- Marine Biology - B+
- Everything else is in progress or planned, but will all be done in august!

What I want to know is if I have a good chance, and if I should wait for more requirements to be completed before applying. I talked to someone at admissions, and they told me that I should go ahead and apply now b/c classes fill up quickly, what do you think?

Saba is better than the other two (full approvals), MUA is better than AUA.

Two years varsity baseball

Two years volunteering in the community

Little to no clinical experience

Phi Theta Kappa, Tri Beta

Also won some awards in Life Sciences and Physics

I've also only attended a Junior College and a Regional University, nothing highly ranked.
Just to update mine......

I recently got a job as a moniter tech/CNA in the medical-surgical ICU of the local hospital. So I think that the lack of clinical experience won't last much longer.

Also when do you guys think I sould apply? I am wanting to get into the September 07 class, and I really don't know how early I should apply.

How long ago should you have applied for the Sept 07 semester? How about 3 months ago!? I don't know if there are still slots available. I'm guessing that with plenty of people accepted already for Jan 07 that Sept is probably looking pretty full. Give it a try right now and see how it works out.

You might be jumping the gun a bit there. The school accepts student until the last week before school due to a myriad of reasons. You are thinking about the Sept. 06 semester, and even then it is not too late.

Um yeah.........I think that we may have had a little bit of a communication problem. But hey man thanks for responding. I apperciate it.

Any ways i am looking into applying early so I will have time to also focus on other options. I am just wondering when the optimal time to apply is.
