Are you able to wait a year before applying to an Ivy League if hoping to get accepted?
I was planning on taking a year or two at a local community college after my senior year to become a CNA or LPN. I was then planning on applying to Ivy League's to get my undergraduates degree in biology or neurology before going to medical school. Would my chances of being accepted into an Ivy League be the same if I applied to go right after high school or if I went to community college first? Or would my chances differ depending on when I apply? #college #doctor #medicine #biology #university #pre-med #neurology #ivy-league

Hi Andrea!
Here are a few web sites that speak about becoming a doctor:

I do not understand why you want to become a CNA or LPN. You do not have to do that to become a doctor. If you are going to go to a community college you should be taking credits toward your undergraduate degree which you would achieve before getting into medical school. It seems like that would be a more efficient route.
Also talk to you own doctor to see what course he/she might recommend.
Send thank you notes to those who help you. Please keep me posted. I would like to follow your progress.
