Hi all,
I have a 3.9 gpa, excellent ECs, LORs, research publication etc. I haven't taken any science courses (or any for that matter) in last few years since graduation and was thinking it'll be advantageous to take biochem/immunology/micro and such next year so would you suggest a formal post-bacc program? I know it's anywhere from $20-40k for a program but only reason I'm considering it is mostly to figure out my study habit, build confidence, and start taking rigorous science course loads to kind of "get back into the game" as I've been off of school for 2+ years now (and also to get out of my parents' house attachFull188675).
I have been doing full-time research this year. I did apply to med schools this cycle and pretty sure won't get anywhere because of extremely poor mcat score (which I'll work on and fix it by May 2015).
Thoughts
