UPenn Special Science VS Harvard Extension

[eva48]

Hey-I'm from the Boston area and just heard I was accepted into Upenn's Special Science Program. Any thoughts on some of the advantages to me to doing that vs just staying around here and completing my requirements at Harvard Extension (and getting some more clinical/volunteer experience cause of all the hospitals around). Is Penn's program generally viewed by more favorably by medical schools? Any other factors I may be overlooking or what to consider. Thanks.

I have a similar type question, however this is in regards to the Health Careers program with Upenn.

You can find the link below.

I don't know the SS program at Upenn, but I've heard some pretty good feedback about the HES, as long as you maximize your opportunity there.

Harvard Extension School has the Health Careers Program, not Penn. Penn has a Special Science program and a Pre-health Program.

I know that the admissions process into Penn's post-bac is entirely separate from Harvard's. But, is there a sliver of possibility that doing a post-bac at Penn, doing extermely well, and developing a close relationship with a Penn professor through a lab would improve one's chances of getting in to Penn Med?
