[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CNA, MA and EMT courses can be from 4-12 weeks and cost > $1000. Just looked and phlebotomy is $2300 at MCCC

In the DMV, the classes fill up fast.

You might be able to do that over the summer, and is fine for a gap year, but it is quite a investment.

You are making excuses. These premed reqs truly are not that difficult provided one has done the homework and is in a college that supports premeds. 
Many undergrads have EMT or CNA or both as courses for credit (ie covered by semester tuition) or for a significant discount for non-nursing students, or as part of a club.  I found two ivy/T10 with such options and three public schools, all with affiliated med schools, in about 20 seconds of googling.

I have a kid in medical school who did not take a gap year, who went to an Ivy.

I will say again that all of these requirements are hard and harder for kids who need to have jobs that make money over the summer.

Googling is not reality. The opportunities are not always available. Many kids have connections. It is hard for kids who do not. Not insurmountable, but challenging.
