I am currently an undergrad student and just finished my first year at a small Jesuit institute. I am majoring in Nursing, and will have to stick it out due to several reasons (financial - nursing scholarship). However, I realized recently that I really want to go to medical school.

But I am far from it. I have approximately a 3.9 gpa, a lot stronger in math than sciences, and absolutely no extracurricular activities relating to the medical field.

Is there any advice out there on how to get to med school as a non-traditional student? Anything would help (MCATs, prereq classes, extracurriculars, research, hospital work etc) PLEASSEEEEEE

Sincerely,
Thoroughly confused!!
