[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell DC to not give up. If med school is the dream there are many ways to get there. No
one should give up a dream based on two classes at 20. I would take classes again. I would have an explanation for first set. You could consider going abroad for med school and yes people still get residencies. There is a guy on instagram who talks about what he went through to become a doctor. It was inspiring. Not everyone has an easy time of it but if you want something you keep trying. [/quote]

This is so kind. Thanks. DC mentioned maybe applying to an accelerated post-grad program for get their BSN (RN), but from the MD comments above it sounds like even that is out of reach. College advisor is saying to retake the two classes for grade replacement and says this is fairly common (this is at a top 40-50 college). DC will continue to reassess possible options before school starts in the fall and keep working as an EMT this summer. [/quote]

I don’t think an accelerated BSN program, after she finishes up her current degree and if she retakes those classes, is off the table at all.  In fact, I think that is fantastic path.  It’s a relatively low cost investment (compared to med school at least), I do think she could get in, and if she ends up not loving bedside nursing, there are many options.  She can work in pharmaceutical sales, surgical device sales ($$$$ but but be attractive), insurance, lots of options. [/quote]
