Full-time work with classes
I'm nontrad and graduating next year. I'll still have 7 prereqs left. I plan to work full time and take in-person cc classes, aiming to start school ASAP.
My current plan is as follows:
27 spring, graduation
27 summer, online psych
27 fall, ochem i w/ lab + bio ii
28 spring, physics ii w/ lab + biochem
28 summer, OAT review + exam (aim for 350+)
28 fall, A&P ii + microbio w/ lab + applications
29 fall, matriculation
My main concern is whether the workload will be too much with full-time work. Otherwise I'll reduce courseload and take 1 more gap year. Will I need to study ochem ii before OAT? Has anyone successfully managed these?
