I took all my pre-reqs there for U of M second career program. The waitlist is about 18-24 months, I think. What kind of advice you want about the pre-reqs?

wll like how hard are the pre reqs? I havent been in school for a while and am a little nervous about going back. Plus, I want to make sure I have a high GPA too. Any tips for taking the pre reqs would be helpful. Like should i do the full 12 credit hours or go part time and go from there. Should I take anamony and chem the same time etc. Which teachers are good and which are not. That sort of thing.

I was 46 when I started taking the pre-reqs, 20 some years out of college. My mind worked fine, even better than the first time around. The profs at WCC were as good or even better than any profs I had at U of M. The classes were tough, but that's because the material is tough, not because of the profs. I took A & P and Chem 105 the first summer, Chem wasn't too bad, A&P is a lot of memorization and really understanding of the systems. then I took 4 classes each in fall and winter terms, and ended with Pharmocolgy this past summer. Patho and Micro weren't too bad. Pharm was a TON of memorization. I ended up all that with a 3.95 GPA, so it was fine. As far as how much time to take with the pre-reqs, figure out when you want to apply and work backwards. I didn't have a job, so taking a full load wasn't a big deal for me.
