[nabs-l] The CPA Exam

[Wasif, Zunaira]

I actually ended up doing a masters program instead and have never
looked back at med school.  I wanted to be a psychiatrist, but couldn't
apply to schools in Florida because the technical standards make it
nearly impossible to get in if you are visually impaired.  I didn't want
to go out of state after getting married and purchasing a home, so I did
grad school instead.

Thats great that you did well on hte mcat. So how do you like med
school?
Yes, i did get extended time. I felt the material was too much and I
didn't take breaks during the exam itself, which made my eyes tired. I
understood the material, this time around, I think I will be more
strategic about it.
