Is it possible and has it been known to occur for some people to apply and be accepted to a post-bachelor program without having completed an undergraduate degree? I ask as I am in that position. I have over 40 credits and a 2 year post-bachelor program would give me the credits I need (or just about).

Anyone?

um, I think by definition post-bac means you are done with the bachelor's degree. If you aren't I think a school would just treat you as a transfer student doing science. I have never heard of anyone doing that.

No it is not possible to get into postbac, without having a Bachelor's degree, because postbac is by definition , post bachelor's degree.

the people whom go into postbac programs are either career changers or people whom had low GPA's the first time around and need grade boosters to show they can make it in medical school.

Most medical schools in the states will not accept students without a degree, unless they are part of special 6 or 7 yr programs or even special 8 yr programs.

There are few that say you only need 90 credit hours, but for the most part they still only accept the people with a degree over those without a degree.
