I know this question may have been explored in other posts but would appreciate some advice on my unique situation.
I am currently working full time in Canada in business and due to financial situations I won't be able to quit my job to do full time post bacc. Currently I'm just "collecting courses" from two school, a local university in Canada and online programs at UCLA Extension. Plus I'm also volunteering at a local clinic and at a Medical First Responder Program (similar to EMT). I do have some concerns which I would appreciate advices on:
1. I'm trying to work around my schedule so I can apply in 2025. I was wondering how many online classes do med school admissions committee deem as "acceptable"? and what about online labs?
2. Do I need to finish the majority of prereqs before I apply?
3. Due to the timing of the classes I feel I might need to drop the EMT program, I'm already seeing some potential conflicts with class times, EMT meetings and so on. Is it "worth it" to drop the EMT experience so I can complete more classes faster?
Appreciate the help!
