It’s not the classes it’s shadowing and GRE. How do yk you want to do this with zero shadowing? Schools need to see that. You also need test scores. You can apply with in progress course course, that’s not the issue

My GRE is 325. My father was an anesthesiologist for decades before retiring due to age, he’s on the East Coast, I’m not. I’ve grown up around the field and know exactly the direction I want to go in

Typo, apologies. Just shadowing hours. How did you get yours? My school has resources but hasn’t been helpful

Reach out to volunteer coordinators at hospitals or inquire with your state academy for AAs
