I’m taking college classes during highschool that do not transfer over to the university I want to go to, will medical schools count these classes when I apply?

Did you give up your dream completely? I am over 50, working in the pharam industry and have always wanted to go to med school but had family to take care–no rich uncles or husbands to fund me. I;ve taken post bac pre med clases from UCLA (some are over 8 yrs now) but haven’t taken MCATs yet. I think I may only get into a Carib school or a DO school. I have had this dream for 30 years and can’t give it up. I am doing this to help patients, because I love medicine and want to make a difference and don’t really care about making Beverly Hills wages. Pls give me some feedback…am I wasting my time?

Hello, I am a sophomore at Purdue University, majoring in movement and sports science minoring in biology. I am taking the required courses for medical school also. I currently have a 3.16 GPA so I am obviously going to try extremely hard to raise this. What are you thoughts on my current situation and are there any other option I should consider. I am looking into spots medicine and orthopedic surgery
thanks
