For the uninitiated - my diary is “What A Long Strange Trip it’s Been”
I think I am at another crossroads. I have my admission to SGU Post-Bacc deferred until July of 2015.
However, for reasons that are insane, I am on probation at work, and the first week of September, I MIGHT lose my job.
My funding for SGU STILL is not guaranteed.
I spoke to several SUNY’s in New York. They will re-admit and grant a second degree.
I am getting really scared of trying to do 43 credits in two semesters.
A private practice in Elmira wants me to join their practice. I could work 20 hours a week and take home what I take home now.
I am just wondering if I should surrender what I am doing now, move back to NY, live in Ithaca, work in Elmira, and go to SUNY Cortland for a Biology degree (and a better chance of making GOOD grades).
This choice would guarantee both funding, and the pre-reqs, but would take 5 semesters.
I could start in January.
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
My recommendation is go to Elmira. While the Carib might be a faster route to START medical education it has a higher attrition rate. As is the mantra here “it’s a marathon not a race.” We retard our progress when we try to speed it up. Slow & steady & fully-funded. 
Thanks Croooz!!
