I'm a very involved SAHM of 2 kids, 12 and 7. I want to return to school having gotten my BS in Bio around 9 yrs ago with a rocky 3.0 GPA. I just don't know if I still have it in me so I want to start out slow, maybe take a few courses over the summer. Finances is not an issue but pulling away from being a very involved parent could be one. There is no official postbac program available around here. so my question is should I repeat my pre-med reqs or should i get a masters? and if so, what should I start with? My long term goals are to go to a dental school (which has a fairly similar path to med school). Has anybody taken any other alternate path to med/dental schools? Also, if you have older children, are they still doing well in school despite your lack of or lesser involvement? Academically speaking. Or is it better to wait till the kids are in college. I just don't know where/when to begin. Any advice would be appreciated.
