I am interested in applying to Post-bacc pre med program. However, I am one more class away from graduating with a history major. But I have a 2.0 gpa overall and I brought that much from 1.15 last semester. I have had a very difficult undergrad career because of financial difficulties at home and problems between my parents that has been a major distraction for me. I would really like to challenge myself with a program that would help brush up my skills and give me an intense educational environment away from home. I took Bio 1 and 2 (C grade) Gen Chem 1 (B grade) and 2 (C), Physics 1 (B) and Physics 2 (C). I took Organic 1 but got a D in it. I did not repeat that class as I was told that its better if I do some of those classes in the post-bacc program. I realize that I do not have any chance for medical school with this gpa and I heard about post-bacc programs through this forum. Do I have any hope in getting accepted in any of the post-bacc program with a 2.0 gpa? I have volunteered and shadowed. I have looked into Scripp, Bryn Mawr, Temple University and Columbia and lot more universities but they all require a gpa above 3.0. Although I read somewhere on this forum that some one got accepted to Columbia post-bacc with a 2.0 gpa and has done really well after that. Are there any schools out there that would give me a chance to pursue my dream? I do not want to give up on this.
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
