Default So those in school...how many years left?

In two weeks I'll 50 credits completed in 1.5 yrs.

so hopefully in 2011 I'll graduate from Michigan State with a degree in Accounting.

After that I hope I can get into the CPA program offered here or I will be off into the work force for 2 yrs before I go back to get my MBA.

It all depends on if I get accepted to Dental school. 1.5 more years for my biology degree, 4 more years after that for dental.

you should always work a couple years instead of going right from college degree to getting a masters. Many places look for experience so if you go right from college to more school your putting yourself farther behind. As well some employers make compensation if they prefer you to have a masters degree after you have been working for them.

Also, to get your MBA you need 2 yrs of work experienc anyway to get accepted.

No, its seperate than medical school, just how dental school or pharmacy school. There is seven around the country and standards of getting in are easier than those listed above, but the pay is very nice.

Even though I am an Accounting major I'm still applying to professional schools such as these, so along with my major I have to take all the pre-req/science courses.

I just want to leave myself with options when I graduate.



Podiatry school does require for the MCAT to be taken though, but the information should not be too much different than the DAT.

About to finish my first semester. Am either leaning towards wanting to go for surgical nursing or go into anesthesiology. So I still got some good time till school is over and done with.
