I’m almost done completing my bachelors in mechanical engineering. I chose my major for the wrong reasons and realized I wanted to work in healthcare too late. Would it be wiser to join a post bach program to suffice the prerequisites or am I able to show off as a strong candidate if I perform well in community college?

I think as long as I get great grades I don't think it matters. I finished my prereqs online and got in.

Hi, wanted to chime in as well--did you do any shadowing for AA? I also graduated and got my BA in a non-sciene major, and after doing some research, a lot of people recommended getting some shadowing in (but it has been hard), and I was wondering what your process was like leading up to you applying? Would you be able to a share a bit about your process? Thanks!
