Think of your experience as good practice for when you get to private practice and residency. You will quickly find that URMs are pretty scarce and rare especially in the surgical specialties. At many vascular surgery conferences, I am definitely the "only one" most times. My colleages are great for fellowship though and I have never felt "unwelcome".

If I am fortunate this cycle, then at the *ripe old* age of 28 I'll be starting a 15-year quest to become a neurosurgeon-scientist.

Did all of my prereqs on a self-guided post-bacc last year.

WELCOME to the club!

I am enjoying my postbacc so far. I am at UC Davis SOM. Classes are going good so far, it is a lot of work but it is ok because something worth having is worth working for. I am taking Endocrinology, Gastrointestinal Physiology, Excercise Physiology, and an Infectious Disease seminar. How is the postbacc for everybody else? God bless.

Member 129779 · 01-12-2008, 02:56 PM

I'm now a little bit more than halfway through my postbac program. Not satisfied with my grades this past semester so I'm really going to have to get serious next semester. I can't believe I'm almost done with all this pre-med stuff....

Member 47012 · 01-21-2008, 01:23 PM

Hi there:
I've applied and they have received my app! It's a new program being offered near Philadelphia. Keep your fingers crossed!

I am interested in Barry post bacc program, but I don't know if I'll measure up. If you don't mind sharing, can you let me know what your GPA and MCAT was like, and any other factors that may have affected your application. Thanks

Member 65205 · 01-22-2008, 07:57 AM

What's up people...I completed a postbacc at Penn. Now I am just doing a little research for UPenn's SOM here Killadelphia (LOL...partially joking about the Killadelphia thing).

I will be applying this coming June (I initially submitted my apps for the 08 admission but had to withdraw due to a medical issue. If God says so I will be applying this coming June for 09' admission

Well i did the college of general studies postbacc so that i could just take courses in whatever i wanted. Last semester i took biochem and two anthro courses. My favorite course by far was paleopathology with professor Zimmerman! I wanted to take histology last semester but it was full by the time i got my penn key all sorted out and was able to sign up for classes. My letter was written by the Princeton HPA, where i went to undergrad.

Member 55788 · 01-22-2008, 11:05 AM

Hi All,

I'm doing a postbac a la carte. I've taken cell bio, human phys and lab, microbio, genetics, anat, biological anthro, biotechnology, and I'm currently in Gene Regulation/Genetic Engrng and immunology. Although if things don't pan out I'm looking into the UMDNJ master's in biomedical sciences at Newark and Stradford; GEMS, the prog at Wake, and I'm looking into the one at Hampton since the second year of the program looks very interesting/useful...although I'm really only looking for a 1 yr program.

Even though I'll be sending out apps for those soon, I'm praying/hoping that the schools I haven't heard from yet will belss me with interviews and acceptances.

MBound & Savantrice...I'm already 29 (turning 30 as a MS1 if I'm lucky this year), you're young!

I sooo need (want) be be in school before I hit 30. Clearly I'm the old head here :-\

Hey WisePrincess227: Did you get into the UMDNJ prog? My friend is in the stratford prog and she really likes it and is doing well there. G'luck

Member 116161 · 01-22-2008, 07:40 PM

Hey all, just droppin in to say hi. Everyone keep your heads up, keep praying, and keep studying. We will all get where we need/want to be if we keep on pushing! I still can't believe winter break went by so fast, but I am looking forward to finishing my SMP (at UMDNJ) and starting med school in the fall. Good luck to everyone this semester...let's get those A's!

Member 36811 · 01-23-2008, 12:40 PM

Hye everyone I am currently doing an informal ala cart post bac program at a small HBCU, but its not very challenging, and I need a change.
I am planning on applying for Dental school, are there any good programs to look into that one can recommend?

Thank you.

Member 55788 · 01-23-2008, 05:28 PM

Tamala: Most of the postbac programs for med are also for dent (or very applicable), since as I understand the first two years of basic science are quite similar if not the same. Go to the postbac forum; there's a lot of information in there! G'luck

also try http://services.aamc.org/postbac/ there you can look for info based on your needs.
