49 - Non-Traditional Roadmap to Professional School: Forging Your Own Path
"Not all who wander are lost"
We conclude the Roadmap to Professional School series with this episode for Non-Traditional Students. Where an undergraduate pathway is relatively clear-cut, non-traditional applicants have the added challenge of forging their own path to professional school.
However, by forming a "coalition of support," understanding holistic review, leveraging the application in your favor, and using available resources, you will find that this journey doesn't have to feel isolating.
