Hello, I was just wondering if anyone else on this site will be attending The Bennington Post Bac Pre Med program this coming June of 2018 with me!

Should I take the MCAT before applying to an SMP or Post Bac program?

Hello Everyone! I have seen that this is a continued topic of debate, and I am going to go ahead and throw myself to the wolves so to speak! (Just kidding! The information that I could get from this-pros and cons-will be incredibly helpful for me to make this decision). :) This is the age old...

So my current GPA is a 2.41, obviously bad, didn't take school seriously and some other personal things that I got sorted out. Last semester I got a 3.2, and this semester looks to be around a 3.65 while working full time as a CNA in an ICU. I'm currently a 5th year senior looking to graduate in...

Hey SDN! I am a Canadian MSc. student who is applying to U.S. MD and DO schools this year. Given the disadvantage that Canadians face as out-of-state/international applicants to the U.S., I want to hedge my bets by applying to a post-bacc program. I've read about the linkages that some programs...

I have a 3.4 overall GPA and am about to graduate undergrad. I plan to participate in a post-bac program this upcoming school year to enhance my GPA.

Hi all! Kind of a non-trad here. I'm currently considering DO school, as I've had a sudden spark in interest. Figured I'd look into it a little more. My problem is, I have extremely minimal background in sciences. I graduated with a BA in Policy Studies concentrating in Health, Crime and Human...

You’re almost at the end of four years of undergrad school and are thinking about your GPA, MCAT, and everything else that goes into your medical school application. Are you ready to go straight to med school, or do you want to take a “gap year” – a year off between college and medical school...

So anxious it's literally raising my blood pressure these past few weeks i've been applying to the smps. I'm applying to 15 SMPs and 15 medical schools. I've gone back and forth with going ham on medical schools or just focus all of my energy on an SMP. Am I doing the right thing? should i even...

I am looking for any thoughts on the postbacc program (Certificate in Biomedical Sciences) at UT Dallas and elms postbacc program. It looks like a lot of the posts on this programs are older.

Hi guys! There are a couple threads on here from fellow lawyers considering the switch to medicine, but they are pretty old, so I thought I'd create a new post. Straight up, I know this sounds kind of insane, but any advice/tips people have about postbacs, particularly for career changers...

I am currently on 2 wait lists for 2018, so I still have hopes for medical school next year, but I feel like I need a viable backup plan. I am two years out of undergrad and I have worked in labs and as a scribe so I don't think experience is where I am lacking and I really would like to be in...

Background: I realized very late (senior year of college) that instead of an M.D in psychiatry I would like to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology. The biggest reason being, I would like to emphasize the psychotherapy/testing patients process of treatment rather than seeing the patient for 15...

MOD NOTE: We are now going to have one thread for all of the inquiries for competitiveness, what are my chances, do I have a shot, can I get into ABC University, etc. Most of the other SDN forums have found success with having one thread, so we are going to adopt that going forward. 1. Please...

Hey guys! Haven't seen a thread for this yet so figured I'd start one. Has anyone else applied for the post bacc yet?

I was wondering if anyone had recent experiences with the LaSalle Post Bac program. I read the thread from 2010 but was hoping for more recent experiences. They don't seem super organized but i'm not in a position to be picky.

Starting a forum for those applying to the Mills College Post Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Program in 2018. I've seen past threads for the Mills Post Bacc, but none for this year. If you're applying, where are you from? If you went to visit the campus, did you like it? Any concerns about the program?

Hi Everyone! My name is A and I am a second year medical student at an accredited school in the US. I recall a time when I was applying to medical school and really relied on some of the things that I saw posted here on SDN. One recurring theme that I saw however, was that the majority of the...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has info about the online program that Drexel offers for post-bacc pre-med students? I'd include the link but I am not able to yet! It's called the Post-Bacc Pre-Med Certificate Hybrid Program and it's offered through Drexel Online. Have you done this program...

How would a year of post-bacc grades be included on the AMCAS application? Is the post bacc gpa shown as separate from undergrad gpa or is there just one undergrad gpa that includes post bacc grades? Also, should you disclose that you took post bacc classes? Thank you

Is there anyone in the world out there that did not totally rock an SMP but still found a way to gain admission into a US medical school? I'll spare everyone the details but I withdrew early from an SMP due to poor performance, have never taken MCAT or applied and I'm just trying to figure out...
