Hey,
I am a Canadian student interested in going to a US school. My C-GPA is about 2.9. (3.7 - 4th year, 3.1 - 3rd year ... lower than 3 in 1st/2nd year).
I have 2 years of clinical research expirience in cardiology for U of Toronto.
I haven't taken any bio/chem/phys courses.
Is there a chance i can get into some post-bacc program with those stats? and are there any 1 year post-pac options for someone like me?
Thanks in advance
Alex :)

You can look into the Harvard Extension program. They are known to take non traditional students with lower GPAs.

You can take classes almost anywhere. Go to a JC, state school, private school....and take the prereqs. You don't need to be enrolled in a formal post bacc, though it may offer more structure and guidance.

No, the classes are not curved so there is no competition between you and the guy next to you.
