examkrackers is going to be your best bet, ESPECIALLY with your lack of a science degree.  I used them for my MCAT and got a 31 (and i'm in my 2nd year of med school now).  They teach you everything you need to know, and they do it at a very basic level and build you up.  I really liked it a lot.  You should also have kept some of your chemistry/bio/physics text books to reference once and awhile if there is a particular topic in examkrackers that you are really struggling on.  I have a couple of websites that sell their text books way cheaper than you would normally get them.  Drop me an email.  evoacct10@yahoo.com\n\n(please mark as best answer if you are satisfied)

I would agree with the previous poster and add that most Jr College courses are as hard or harder than regular university courses.  Grades are huge to medical school admissions but don't forget to study for that MCAT.  That is no simple test.

What school you can get into depends on your grades, but any of the Cal States are good. Being a pre-med student myself I can tell you it's a hard row to hoe. You will have to go to school for 4 years to get your bachelors, and take the rigorous MCAT exam during your junior year. You'll also have to maintain a high grade point average, and have a high MCAT score to get into med school. You will then have to go to Med School for another 3 years, during your third year doing a rotation at a hospital. Then after that depending on the specialty you choose, gynecology, or plastic surgery it could be on average 3-5 more years of specialty training as a resident (where you'll finally be earning cash! yay! but not that much). So I would suggest talking to you high school counselor and checking out the interest rates on some student loans. I'd also recommend reading "Planning a Life in Medicine" from the Princeton Review.

you'll need to attend a 4 year college where you MUST take\n1. 1 year of general chemistry\n2. 1 year of organic chemistry\n3. 1 year oh physics\n4. 1 year of biology\ndepending on the medical school you choose, you may also need a semester of math, english, and a humanity (history, philosophy, ect.)\n\nyou also need to take the MCAT during your junior year of college. the mcat tests your ability to retain knowledge, and be able to apply it to an unfamiliar situation. which is essentially what doctors do.\n\nthe test is divided into 4 sections, physical science (half physics and half general chemistry), biological science (2/3 biology and 1/3 organic chemistry), verbal reasoning, and a writing section.\nphysical science, bio science, and verbal are each scored on a scale of 1-15 points. so a 45 is the maximum. to get into medical school, you need a 30, meaning at least a 10 from each section. writing is scored by a letter grade from J to T (j being the worst, t the best)\nso your score looks like this: 32P \nthe MCAT is an 8 hour test, and by the time you take it, it will be on the computer.\n\nduring medical school you'll study your anatomy, biochemistry, virology, ect, mostly during your first two years, then your last two years you do rotations, meaning you get to try all the medical specialties like surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, ect. \nyou graduate medical school.\nthen you get to discover the circus that is the match. \nyou apply for a specialty, pediatrics, at a certain hospital where you will be taught the ins and outs of your specialty. you'll be an md, but you'll essentially be "in training" for a number of years. \noh yes, the USMLE (us medical licensing exam) which has 3 steps, which you need to take to be an official doctor. the first two steps are taken during med school, the last one is taken during your residency.\nafter you complete your residency you try to get a "real" doctor spot, which is called an attending position, where you treat your own patients and have your own group of doctor wannabees to train.\n\nthrer's a LOT that i haven't covered, but that's everything in a nutshell.\n\ngood luck.

While the MCAT is very important, it is not the end-all-say-all for medical school admission.\n\nHere are some helpful tips for building a strong medical school application:\n\n1. Volunteer at a local hospital. Medical schools are placing more and more emphasis on getting clinical experience while studying as an undergraduate. It tells the medical schools that you have spent time in a hospital, have observed doctors working, and that you are sure medicine is the right career for you. It also allows you to portray yourself as a compassionate person and gain a sense of accomplishment by volunteering your time to help others.\n\n2. Do well in your medical school prerequisite classes. Ideally, you want to get an "A" in every class you take. That  is not possible for everyone, however. It was not possible for me! Make sure you concentrate the majority of your time and effort on the classes that really matter: biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, math, and physics. While getting an "A" in your history class is nice, it does not mean much when it is sitting next to a "C" in organic on your transcript. On your medical school application, they have a spot for your total GPA and your science GPA. Schools like to see a high science GPA. Doing well in your science classes (aka actually learning the material rather than cramming for exams) will really pay off when you take the MCAT. Schools also look at your performance in specific classes on your transcript. For example, there is a moderate correlation between your performance in organic chemistry classes and your performance in medical school courses. Think about this while studying as an undergraduate. Also, make sure to TAKE ALL OF YOUR MEDICAL SCHOOL PREREQUISITES AT A FOUR YEAR SCHOOL! Community college is fine for general education classes, but medical schools like to see you taking your important classes at a four year school. \n\n3. Start studying early for the MCAT. If you take the April test, start studying November. Spend something like 30 minutes a day studying, and it will pay off in the long run. It is also helpful to take an MCAT prep course, specifically for the full-length simulated practice exams. It is not the material on the MCAT that is difficult. It is the amount of material covered and the length of the exam (about 8 hours). Practice exams let you know what areas you need to devote more time to and get you acclimated to taking an 8 hour exam. I received a 24 on my first practice MCAT and received a 35 on the actual test. Prep courses do help, if you are willing to shell out the dough (took mine through Kaplan).\n\n4. Get to know your professors. Most medical schools require three letters of recommendation from class room professors. The more personal your letters of recommendation are, the better off you will be. The best way to get to know a professor is to undertake a research project or work in their lab. Many schools have honors research programs or job listings for labs. It is also a good idea to enroll in some classes with a smaller number of students. If you actively participate, professors will remember you.\n\n5. Work on your writing skills. Medical school applications require you to complete endless essays. If you can put together an articulate and well-organized essay, you will be a more appealing candidate. While what's in your essay is important, how it is written will also go a long way. When you are writing your essays, head over to your college's English department. Many departments will have a free student writing center. You could also seek the help of an English graduate student or professor.\n\n6. Get involved in activities you are passionate about. Research, volunteering, student organizations, intramural athletics, clubs, etc. You do not need a huge list of activities to impress admissions committees. What you do need are a handful of activities that you really enjoy and are passionate about. Many essays

I think you've got the wrong exam number. I've probably got the answers (with 100% accuracy) if it's Chemistry, but, i need the correct exam number. Pick a question and then type it in here so I'll know if I have it. Let me know and I'd be glad to help.  \n\n:)

If and only if:\n\n1. your online degree is accredited\n2. you did NOT do your lab courses online\n3. took MCAT and did well.\n\nbut even still, NO ONLINE SCHOOL ranks remotely close to the real universities that matriculate students into med school. I'm coming from UC Berkeley with a masters degree from USC, and i had a MCAT score of 32. You will be competing with the likes of me for admission.\n\nAdmissions committees will be paying attention to where you came from. Unless you have a GREAT back story to tell (married, 6 kids, spouse in the military, constantly moving, worked as a medical tech for 30 years etc...), you will be fighting an uphill battle.

I haven't attended med school myself so I can't help you much in terms of a personal anecdote. I hope to one day go to med school too (I'm currently only 17 now). Good luck to you!\n\nAs you probably already know, there are three sections in which you can earn 15 points each. To be considered competitive, you probably want to score a 10 or 11 in each section.\n\nWhen you do take the MCAT, you can find out if your scores are competitive by going here: http://www.studentdoc.com/medfind.html

The Mcat means : The Medical Collage Admission Test, below is some information on it. the I have listed a source below that. Good luck I hope this will help you! :)\n\nThe Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is a standardized test administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) to prospective medical students as a means to standardise comparison between them for purposes of admission to medical school. The exam is currently taken entirely on paper. However, a computer-based version will be offered at select testing sites in the fall of 2005, and all future administrations of the exam starting in the spring of 2007 are expected to be computer-based.

you can't . Everyone has to take the MCAT's. They use those scores and the interview to pick the people who will make good doctors and med. students. Sorry.
