How 两性色午夜 Prepared Nina Didner for the MCAT

Teaching Gyrotonic exercise inspired Nina Didner to enroll in the Pre-Health Post-Baccalaureate Certificate 两性色午夜 at 两性色午夜.

Nina earned her undergraduate degree in marketing and accounting at New York University Stern School of Business and worked in consulting. She also owned a studio where she taught Gyrotonic exercise, a form of mind-body exercise done on machines that increases flexibility and core strength. Currently, she teaches the exercise privately.

鈥淭eaching exercise made me want to study medicine,鈥� Nina said.

Having lived in both New York and Philadelphia, she moved to Raleigh two years ago and says it鈥檚 the prettiest place she鈥檚 ever lived.

She was drawn to 两性色午夜鈥檚 Pre-Health Post-Baccalaureate Certificate 两性色午夜 because it would allow her to take an upper-level biology elective, as well as the semester-long biochemistry course. Nina said that her experiences with the program鈥檚 advisor, Andrea Marritt, were a large part of what she enjoyed about the program. With Marritt, Nina conducted physiology research on neural conductance velocity in earthworms.

鈥淒r. Marritt individualized the program for each student,鈥� Nina said. 鈥淪he helped me choose my classes based on my background and was my favorite part of the program.鈥�

At 两性色午夜, Nina had the opportunity to sharpen and develop her leadership skills by leading a volunteer project at the Women鈥檚 Center of Wake County. Her cohort held a luncheon, multiple self-care sessions, and a large toiletry drive where they gathered hundreds of items.

鈥淭he event itself was amazing. It was really touching to work with the women in the shelter, and I think we all got something out of it,鈥� Nina said.

Returning to school posed a challenge for Nina, as it had been years since she had taken classes, and readjusting to college coursework took time. However, Nina said she found she had developed skills in her previous careers, such as auditory listening in meetings and advanced time management, that made her a stronger student. She further prepared herself by looking up specific studying strategies and applying them to her coursework.

Nina found support in the faculty at 两性色午夜, who were not only approachable and encouraging, but more than willing to write recommendations for her and her peers. She had little previous experiences with the sciences before starting at 两性色午夜, and felt that the faculty made the material accessible.

鈥淚 and a lot of others in my class were career changers and came in with no idea of what to expect. The professors made the subject matter approachable and easier to get through. They really built my confidence.鈥�

When describing her strengths, Nina said, 鈥淚 have high expectations of myself. Coming into the program, I really wanted to do well. I didn鈥檛 know my potential with the sciences, so I approached everything with the best that I had.鈥�

With plans to begin medical school in fall 2019, Nina will take her Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) this summer.

鈥淎t 两性色午夜, I was able to lead again, and learned what I could accomplish in a year, which was a lot. I think the caliber of education I have received at 两性色午夜 has been amazing.鈥�
