This won’t be accepted for prerequisites at any major MD or PA program. That being said you can complete this and then take prereqs and GPA prerequisites at CC or universities towards MD school etc. WGU’s system does NOT work as it is pass/fail.
It definitely depends on the school. I will say, 7 of 8 Ivy League schools have accepted WGU undergrads into their grad programs regardless of the pass/fail system. But yes, you absolutely need to check with your med school ahead of time. Another solid options is to hack your undergrad, then attend a "Post Bacc - Pre Med" program at the Med school you're wanting to attend. It can save you a ton of time, and give you a huge boost in odds to get into a specific med school.
What if you have a BA but need a second one in health sciences, can the gen Ed be transferred or skipped? How can one get financial aid or scholarships to pay for a second degree??😢
A bachelor's degree is about 40 classes. 1 class per day would get you the degree in 40 days... But.. it's important to keep in mind that there will be times when you're waiting for essays to be graded and waiting on teachers. It's technically possible but the fastest I've seen for a full Bachelor's is 3 months.
Hey Ryan, I've recently enrolled at a local community college and I'm hell-bent on getting the best grades I can, so I can get admitted to a more competitive school and get into a competitive program. What do GPAs look like while college hacking? Would I only be doing the minimum amount of work to pass these classes? Is this still a faster option if I want a 3.5+ GPA?
Each school is a little different. Some have a traditional grading scale, and others use a Pass/Fail system which basically tells schools you had a "3.0 or higher" for your undergrad. Which is usually not a big deal at all. For example 7 of the 8 Ivy League schools have accepted WGU grads regardless of the Pass/Fail system they use. But there are paths to acceleration either way. Shoot me an email (ryan@9monthgrad.com) and we'll see if we can map something out. Also... most of these schools grad you on the work you do, not the work you skip. So if you skip to the final exam, that would represent 100% of your grade.
I am a 32 years old Korean student who's just trying to get back to college. I've thought about applying to ucla, UCB, Upenn and Columbia with ged and toefl, or do you think it's better to just go for free tuition online college that can get me a degree within a year? which do you recommend?

It's usually not a big deal. For example 7 of the 8 Ivy League schools have accepted WGU grads regardless of the Pass/Fail system they use. However... I always suggest making sure the schools you're trying to get into will accept your undergrad before you even start. If your Med School wants a firm GPA, with no acceptations.. You have to look for other options. Another hack I love is to undergrad in whatever you want, then attend a Post Baccalaureate Pre Med program at the Med school you're wanting to get into. It's way easier to get into the bridge programs, but once you finish it... your acceptance rates normally skyrocket.
I've seen WGU students get into Med School and Law School. But it's super important for pre-med students... You have to have every "pre-med" credit required by the med school to get in. Most students will need to do at least additional classes before getting into med school. You've gotta do your due diligence ahead of time and make sure you check all the boxes required at your med school.
First🎉! & i hope this is promising bcuz it's exactly what I've been looking for🤗 it's about time ..now🎉 they just need is basic or specific or self build prereq for things like nursing sonography basically have the same basic pre reqs with a difference in maybe two which are job specific or at least dual build to be ahead on your next degree steps & it would be even more awesome 😎 🤓... But this degree would help bcuz so many school now have 3yr. med track specialties🤓👩🏾🔬...🤗♥️...This is great🎉!
It's common for pre med, but with just a Bachelor's Degree... I've seen dieticians with Health Science majors. Also quite a bit of lab type jobs. Medical technology stuff as well. Most pharmaceutical sales jobs require a Bachelor's degree.. and this would be a solid major for that. Pharmaceutical sales is high paying as well.
@@demmefrazier6629 It depends what majors can get you to the LPC status. Shoot me an email and let's see if we can find a faster path... (ryan@9monthgrad.com)
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 me too I will be reaching out to you. I'm waiting on them to add my credits. To see how many I have left. From your expertise I have a as degree in general studies how many credits do you assume they will take and I have left to take with them?

Is it possible to attain this degree in two months if I do courses every day?

Very cool, but would med schools even look at you with an online degree with no GPA?

@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 I would imagine it’d be similar to law school. In that case the person is just going to have to do well on the LSAT.
@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 awesome info, thanks
You need a GPA and in-person classes with labs for pre-health and med school

With a health science degree what wxactly kindof jobs are out there with the degree

@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 could I get into biotechnology as well, looking online it seems possible?
hey ryan, is it still possible to get into schools like these if i dropped out of college with under a 2.0 gpa?
Yep. They may have you take a few classes conditionally first, but if you pass those... you're granted full admission. It's not hard to get in.
@@9monthcollegegrad-ryansway671 thank you!
