Glad your feeling better too!

Barteur · 02-21-2010, 11:34 AM

I am really Happy for you Christian. Congrats to you.

02-21-2010, 11:37 AM

Congrats Christian.... Alll the best to you and yours. It may be a long road to travel, but I'm sure when you're finally through it all, you'll be on easy street.

RevSmoke · 02-21-2010, 12:19 PM

Congratulations! God's blessings upon your studies.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

MedicCook · 02-21-2010, 09:56 PM

Congrats Christian.

Congratulations Christian.....good job on proving it's never too late

Tenor CS · 02-22-2010, 08:51 AM

Thank you for all the well-wishes, everyone. Trying to finish out my community college stuff now and then doing paperwork and other stuff to get ready for UCF. I already got my ucf email address.

The toughest part is, I need to have my mom find my immunization paperwork from like 7th grade. She says she has it somewhere.

rizzle · 02-22-2010, 09:55 AM

Awesome Christian! Really glad to hear it.

Tenor CS · 02-23-2010, 12:37 PM

Funny story: At UCF, the Molecular-and-Micro-Biology degree is called "M&M" for short. I just bought myself a jumbo bag of M&M's to celebrate.

jerseystepup · 02-23-2010, 01:51 PM

Awesome bro! Hardwork pays off.. Go buy something spectacular now to agre then smoke when your finished!

DrDubzz · 02-24-2010, 12:51 PM

Congrats, and if you have any questions about pharmacy school or pre-req stuff or any of that let me know, I'd be happy to help

Tenor CS · 02-24-2010, 12:56 PM

Thanks to those offering advice.

So far, I know I need to take:

Biology I and II
Chemistry I and II
Organic Chemistry I and II
Physics I and II
Anatomy and Physiology I and II
Calculus
Speech
Psychology

I can finish all that in 2-2.5 years.
I can stick around for another 2 or 3 semesters and actually finish the M&M BS Degree.

My chem prof said I should finish the M&M for two reasons.
1. They will take me more seriously as someone with a science degree vs. a former music person who took a bunch of pre-req's.
2. In Doctoral programs, it's ALL about graduation rates. It looks bad on me if I walk out of school with less than a year left, even if it is to "upgrade" to medical school.

That's my exact course requirements too! Minus the Psych...

Tenor CS · 02-24-2010, 01:31 PM

Actually, turns out I don't need psych. I'll probably take it anyway, though.

DrDubzz · 02-24-2010, 01:38 PM

take psych, it'll be beneficial, even if only to a small degree

and MJ, I didn't know you were aspiring to pharmacy school, let me know if you have any questions.

02-24-2010, 08:07 PM

Congratulations brother. When I retire, I am going back to school!! Maybe they can teach an old dog a new trick!

02-24-2010, 08:10 PM

Congratulations and best wishes with the program.
