  1. Awesome! So, next question: Does it matter whether I take basic sciences at a state school with minimal academic cred (I'm looking at University of South Florida, since that's my hometown) or at a university with excellent accolades, like Columbia (where I'd get to stay at my New York job)? Would I learn the sciences any differently at an ivy league?
  2. Kind thanks, guys. Vene, what do you mean I'd be "more likely to have to pay for it"? I didn't know master's programs could be subsidized. Excellent news, if so. And to my question, more precisely: in addition to Vene's suggestion of an AS degree (thanks, that's useful), are there other ways for me to get the prereqs out of the way?
  3. That makes sense, thank you for the suggestion. I do have Calc II and Statistics under my belt, so luckily I can concentrate on bio+chem+physics.
  4. Graduated from a top-tier undergrad business school with a second major in literature. Good GPA, great GRE score. Now, after 2 years of working as a medical copywriter (I write scientific texts and videos, etc. for oncologists), I realize how much sense science makes, how happy I am thinking about it, and how much potential good I can do with a proper scientific training. I want to get an MS in Bio. How splendid. Except: I don't have the slightest hint at undergrad prerequisites. I took a 3-credit Human Anatomy for non-science majors at a state college, that's it. So, question: does anyone know of a way for me to get into a life sciences masters? I know there are pre-health post-baccs, but I think my career focus is not necessary going to be medicine. And I don't wanna lie to Bryn Mawr, saying that I wanna be a doctor when I really just want to take swamp specimens for a while and then work in science policy for the rest of eternity. Your insights in exchange for my undying gratitude.
