post bac

Hello all, I have been scoping around to find post baccs that are "worthwhile" = conditional acceptance/interview I am aware that UConn, Temple, UPenn, PCOM & Loyola that offers these. Can anyone name other enhancer programs that offer the conditional acceptance / guaranteed interview? I am...

After spending days googling and searching Ive decided to try luck and ask for some advice. I don't want to be just another poster asking for a hand out, I have fond a great deal of info in old threads but those may be out of date now. I would really appreciate any help. I have s2.52 and...

Hi everyone! I'm currently a junior, and I'm trying to feel out my options for after graduation. My situation is a little unique because my university offers "advanced standing" which means that I'll be graduating after only 3 years of undergrad. Due to my financial situation, I will not be able...

I know that post-bac's vs. Caribbean schools is a rehashed topic here but most of these posts are talking about the Big 4 and the more well-know/respected post-bacs such as Goucher, Scripps, etc. I was wondering about if your only choices were the bad ones. I got accepted into St. James which...

Hello I'm graduating soon from an overseas university, and was wondering how I would be able to apply to med school. I learned that the Amcas doesn't calculate outside the US university courses, so essentially my GPA is non existent. I have done some of my prereqs at my uni (as a bio major)...

Hey guys, So Im in this cycle and haven't heard back from any schools yet. Meanwhile, I am looking at applying to post-bacs and masters programs. I am having a hard time trying to narrow down the choices and pick what'll get me to dental school more efficiently. Can someone give me their...

Hey SDN World, I started my journey as a non-traditional student a year ago. My past few threads are somewhat of a time capsule that document my progress and, hopefully, provide information for future students like me. So here's an update of my fall 2016 semester... I took Organic I, Intro...

Hey guys so I am a senior this year planning on applying to a post bacc program for next summer/fall. I currently have a 2.9 overall gpa and a very low science gpa maybe around 2.3. I just got a D in one of my science courses this semester as well that I have to retake next semester. My...

Does anyone have positive or negative experiences with Louisville's Post-bac Career Changer program? I did a search on SDN and there is not a lot of information out there about this program. http://louisville.edu/medicine/degrees/postbacpremed The programs seems dynamic and the assured...

Hello! I recently got an interview for the P4 program at Thomas Jefferson University. Has anyone gone through this interview process or program before and have some words of wisdom to share? Thank you so much!

I would really appreciate some advice: I made the mistake of applying before I knew my MCAT score. I've been getting rejections and no IIs this cycle so I know I need to make significant improvements in my application. Besides re-taking the MCAT to improve my 498 (124,123,125,126) score, I am...

Hello, Has anyone heard what the attrition rate is at the Johns Hopkins University post-bac program for career changers the past couple of years? Also, does anyone know how the attrition rate at JHU compares to other top programs like Bryn Mawr, Scripps, and Goucher?

Hi guys, I know everyone is waiting to here back from dental schools right about now and no one wants to think about the "back up" plan. With the academic semester coming to an end and the new semester approaching, I'm looking into applying to post-bacc programs since I haven't seen any...

Hi! I was recently accepted to Goucher and Bryn Mawr's postbac programs and was wondering if any current or recent post bac students could help me with my decision between the two? They are both great programs with similar lists of linkages and med school acceptance rates, but I'm wondering what...

Anyone on here applying to this? Looks like applications are due towards the end of January. I couldn't find a thread for program, if there's already one floating around somewhere I apologize. I still haven't learned how to efficiently navigate SDN.

Hi, I am a Senior graduating a year early and I did not do so well during undergrad. I am looking for a post bac program that has a bridge program to a medical school either DO or MD. Mainly a program that will enhance my GPA and possible has an MCAT prep course in the program. My overall...

Hey guys and gals, the semester is almost over and it looks like the 4.0 post-bacc GPA will remain (knock on wood). Next semester I’ve got Ochem II, Microbiology and Genetics, followed by Biochem and a required Psychology course in the summer. MCAT is June 30th. Extracurriculars are VERY strong...

Hello, I recently graduated in March 2016 and am looking into Post-bacc programs and need some advice on what would be right for my situation. Main focus would be boosting GPA and studying for the MCAT. I had been admitted into a MS program therefor have never taken the MCAT but have taken GRE...

Hello guys: Have anybody been accepted into this program with a low 3-3.1 GPA. Also, please share your experience on the difficulty of the classes in the program, because I did notice that they make you take about 6 courses per term. Thank you

OKAY. This is an incredibly sensitive topic for me, so to prevent myself from writing a 20-page essay, I'll do my best to keep this as fact-centric as possible. Demographics: Female, Asian Major: Nursing Class: Junior Test Scores: SAT 1960; thinking of taking GRE High School: First Quartile...

While researching post bac programs, I found one with a mandatory MEDPREP program in which you shadow a medical student for 3 hours every other week. Interesting, eh? I could see how such an opportunity would be beneficial on a personal level (glimpse what it's really like to attend med school...

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting in the forum, but I really want some advice on my situation. I am currently a senior at my college. My cGPA is 3.1 and my sGPA is probably somewhere between 2.9-3.0 (I haven't properly calculated yet). My DAT scores are 21AA (19 bio, 21 GC, 21, OC, 21...

I'm applying to the MR of Physiology program at NCSU in Fall of 2017. If you were accepted, what were your stats like? What's is the lowest uGPA that you've heard was accepted?

I graduated college with a 2.9 gpa and a 2.8 science gpa. My MCAT score is a 506. I am currently retaking undergraduate classes (Biochemistry, Physics) and also taking behavioral neuroscience at different school than the one I graduated from to boost my gpa. I am also going to apply to Post-bac...

Hey everyone, first time posting on SDN so thank you in advance for your help! Going to give a backstory so you guys get the full picture of my situation. I graduated from UT Austin about two years ago with a pre-med non-science degree and cGPA of 3.05 and sGPA of 2.57. I also took the MCAT...

I'm applying next summer, and right now I have a 2.9 after graduating. I have Cs in both gen chems, as well as ochem I, then a B in ochem II and a C- in biochem. I'm enrolled in two gen chem classes right now at a CC, but is it worth retaking them? I have about 160 units since I changed my...

hi there. I recently graduated from college with a B.A in English, and have been accepted into columbia's post-bac premed program. I'm really interested in becoming a PA however I'm very unsure if I should go through with this post-bac program. Overall, the program costs about $22,000 a year and...

Hi everyone, I know this kind of question gets asked all the time, but I'm looking for some input on a post-bac path. I'm a non-trad, 24, philosophy major undergrad, gpa a bloody 3.0, only took a single science course. I've just been accepted to UPenn's Core Studies postbac. However, it is...

Ok so here's where my confusion comes from. I will be graduating with a 3.2 bcp and projected 22DAT, from a Top 20 school with an upward trend. If I get my bcp gpa up to a 3.5 with 1 year of post bac classes from a state school is that more than enough to increase my likely hood of getting into...

Hello all, This is the first time I've ever posted on here so lets see how this goes. I recently graduated from a four year university (Boston University) with a major in International Relations. I started pre-med but was convinced by some friends that I wanted something easier (typical first...
