Hi Everyone who cares,
I am currently in a master's program in speech language pathology in NYC. It was SUPER difficult to get into the program as it is a Cuny school. I understand that most don't get the opportunity that I did. However, I fear my mind is not at peace.
I am considering taking pre-reqs and applying to medical school but I am stumped because I am already in this program. SO, I have 1 year and a half to finish plus a CF to do. I am 23 years old. I will finish when I am 25 years old. I wonder if anyone has ever done pre-reqs for medical school during a master's program. I am also considering a PhD in this field but I am very unsure. I am worried I will not be able to support myself and a kid (if I have one) with the lousy money SLPs get these days.
I wonder if anyone else had these thoughts and actually did this. Im sure it can be done but medical school is a longggg process. I really want advice on what I should do. Most people I talk to say to finish the master's and then think about it to make a wiser choice, but I don't want to waste time and hold back on doing the pre-reqs! Please give me helpful advice to the best of your ability. I am really struggling here and am going a little insane. This is my future after all! Thank you and please be kind. I really appreciate it.
