Old Pre-Meds site for nontraditional students

Want to be a Pre-Med student? Or maybe you already are.

Here's a great discovery today. I have put this website on the permanent links list here on the Nontraditional Student Blog.

I was working on finding some nontraditional student links today when I lucked upon this great site. It is especially for nontraditional Pre-Med students.

They just had a conference in Chicago on June 10-13, which was their 10th annual conference.

If you go to the Index page, which is here, Old Pre-Meds, Inc., you will see some posts to the right of the page. These are postings by other nontraditional students on the forum, who are telling about their educational journeys.

The site also has a discussion board (forum) , which I think is really good. The link to the discussion board (forum) is here:
Pre-Med Nontraditional Students Forum

Okay, nontrads. Here are some awesome blogs I have just read. I like them - - a lot.

I think you will like them too.

#1: Are you lost? Nontraditional student Zickbee talks about knowing (or not knowing) your path. She also talks about what some people use as a compass - - or people that can help. Here is that link:

#2. Study Hacks talks about the fact that they get many email requests for help. Some are college students who are obsessing about their futures, grades, or whether or not they will succeed. The author suggests training your mind. How? Find out suggestions here:

#3. Caz is having a holiday from school, and waiting for her grades. She is not obsessing about it, but would like to have them... soon! Read blog posting #3

#4. Deb at About.com wrote a short article about cheating. Yes, it still does go on. And schools are trying new ways of stopping it. Read blog posting #4

Are you a nontraditional student? Reading blogs about going back to school after a break can help you feel less alone. You can also join a group at your school, or online. If you help other nontraditional students as part of your job, thank you!
