neurologist19 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hi Everyone, I have a bsc degree in computer science and about to enrol in a second bsc in biology. My goal is mainly to use the second degree to increase my GPA for the med school admission. I am going to basically go along with the degree to either finish it and then pursue research positions in bioinformatics or jump ship if I get accepted in the medical school along the way. My question is that, is it a red flag to the committee that I am ready to drop out of school to join the medical school. I am planning to apply in my second and third year so it will come up eventually and may raise brows. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdoido Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 No, I don't think so. Schools let you apply in third year with the understanding that if you are accepted, you leave undergrad to enter med. If your end goal is a career in medicine, it makes perfect sense you'd cut a comparatively useless Bsc short to get to med school. neurologist19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neurologist19 Posted October 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Thanks for your reply, it is good news. I wouldn't agree with you that biology bsc is useless. you can dive into all sort of medical research, cancer treatment research, etc starting with a bsc in biology and going to grad school; but that I respect your opinion.
