Thinking about medical school? You do not have to start at an expensive four-year university to build your foundation.

You can complete all 15 core medical school prerequisite classes at a community college like Sacramento City College.

Full-time students can finish them in as little as 5 semesters. If you work or have other commitments, you can also attend part-time at your own pace.

This path covers everything from basic chemistry and math up to organic chemistry, physics, and cell biology all at a lower cost!

College students rarely drop out because of one single reason. This discussion looks at the personal challenges students face, like work, family responsibilities, transportation, finances, and unexpected life events, alongside systemic barriers like confusing college processes, limited advising, financial aid issues, scheduling, and unclear academic pathways. The goal is to understand how these barriers stack up over time and can eventually push students out of college.

Personal + Systemic Barriers = Drop Out

🎒🎓 Welcome back to school, California students! We hope you’re having a great start to the new semester! 💙

As classes get underway, here’s one important thing to keep on your radar: financial aid. 💰

Did you know there are two financial aid applications available to California students?

🔵 FAFSA: U.S. citizens, permanent residents and eligible non-citizens
🟠 California Dream Act Application (CADAA): qualifying undocumented students, including eligible DACA recipients

Although these are different pathways, both can help eligible students access financial aid.
