Hello, so I was very fortunate to have been accepted to both of these programs. But I am having an impossible time choosing. Background I was a Computer Science and Data Science major, and worked as a software engineer. I have physics and both these programs confirmed that I don't have to take...

I’m just creating this thread to answer any questions folks might have about each of these 3 programs. I did not know anyone who completed any of these programs, and I felt like it might’ve been helpful as I was applying and trying to decide. So please AMA about the application, the interview...

Hey everyone! I have yet to see a thread for those of us looking to be admitted into career-changer post-bac programs in 2022-2023 so I thought I'd go ahead and post this! Please feel free to drop any questions and advice here :) Good luck to all of my fellow prospective students!!!

Hello! I am an undergraduate student at Emory University interested in applying to post bacc programs.. I am only interested in one year programs that have linkages available. Some of these programs include: -Goucher -Bryn Mawr -Tufts -Northwestern -UVA -Scripps -GW or Georgetown (if they...

I was waitlisted for Bryn Mawr’s post-bac program. Does anyone know if there is any possibility of moving from waitlist for this year to deferred acceptance for 2022?

I would really appreciate some advice on applying to post bacs. After working in clinical research a few years, I decided in Aug 2020 to apply to post bacs and pursue med school. I have applied to 2 programs - Scripps and Goucher - and am working on the essays for Bryn Mawr, Johns Hopkins, and...

Hi everyone. I am having a lot of trouble deciding on what school to attend for postbac. I know Bryn Mawr is the most prestigious school for premed postbac, but I really had my heart set on UPenn prior to getting an interview at Bryn Mawr. Can anyone speak from prior experience in either...

Hi everyone! I don’t see a thread like this anywhere so I figured I’d start one. How is everyone’s application cycle going for next year’s post Bac cycle? I applied to UVA, Goucher, Bryn-Mawr and Loras. So far I’ve got interviews at UVA and Goucher, plus an acceptance at Loras.

Hi there! I am trying to decide on a post-bacc program and wanted some opinions. I am currently an AmeriCorps doing a term of service in Seattle (I finish in July). I graduated last May (in three years with a 3.6 GPA and majored in political science and minored in humanitarian studies). I...

I wasn't a pre-med in undergrad but have decided to complete a pre-med post-bac and have been accepted to both Bryn Mawr and Johns Hopkins University. I'm utterly torn between the two. I know that both have great outcomes in terms of medical school acceptance but are very different in terms of...

Hi! Can anyone tell me what the interviews were like for either Bryn Mawr or Goucher? I'm nervous for mine and it would help to have an idea of what to expect. Thanks! Amalia23

Hi so I just graduated from nursing school and am wanting to go back to a post bacc so I can hopefully can go to med school. I will end with around a 3.5 gpa and lots of healthcare experience from nursing school. I did get two cs as a freshman in biology and chemistry but have improved my grades...

Besides SIU's MedPrep and the UC-Consortium which are for academic enhancers and not career-changers, it seems post-bac programs are not URM-friendly, which is interesting considering the whole point of post-bac programs is to help get people into medical school. My reasoning: 1) Post-bacs are...

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...

Hello, This is my first time making a post, and I was wondering what is the possibility of me getting into one of these two post bac programs? I am considering these programs because I didn't know that these kinds of structured programs existed to fast-track people into medical school. I...

Hi fellow SDN members! I've submitted my application to Bryn Mawr's Post-Baccalaureate Program (which was marked complete on October 2nd) and was wondering if anybody else has applied Early Action and heard back yet. I'd be super appreciative if other applicants and alumni shared as much...

Hello Everyone! First of all thank you to everyone who took the time reading this. I've just completed stage 1 of my journey to getting into a postbacc and - hopefully - MD program, which is landing a stable job that allows me time to volunteer at the local hospital. I'm looking to submit my...

I'm posting this thread in hopes that I'll be able to get some current help. Right now, I'm an upper-sophomore English major at a CUNY school. I went into college thinking I'd give English up and be strictly pre-med, but I found myself totally disengaged and disconnected from professors in 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, 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! 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...

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...

I recently applied to Bryn Mawr's Postbac Program. Anyone else have? Anyone know what the response time is like when you apply this early.

Hi everyone! I plan to apply to BM, JH, Goucher, and Scripps for the 2017-2018 post bac term and wanted to get a sense of whether I would make a decent candidate. I am also curious to know what your stats were and where you were and weren't accepted if you guys don't mind sharing (GPA, ACT/SAT...

I recently graduated from Johns Hopkins with a 3.5 gpa (psychology and anthropology). I would have had a 3.67 if it weren't for one semester during my freshmen year when I lost a family member and left the country for the funeral during my finals period. I have a 1900 SAT score, a 4.2 high...

I was on the waitlist for Bryn Mawr's postbac program but was just removed from the waitlist. The decision letter said that I can reapply next October and the program coordinator said that applying earlier would give me a better chance of being accepted next year. Has anyone reapplied to the...

I was recently accepted into the Harvard Ext. and the Bryn Mawr post bac programs. While there are a lot of factors going into my decision of whether to attend one or the other, I am particularly curious about academic support and my chances of academic success in each program. This is...

Hi all, I finished undergrad a little less than three years ago and was a non-science major. Over the course of the last few months I have decided to change gears and become a physician. I need to get the pre-reqs for med school completed, and I am going to do this through a post-bac program...

Hey Everyone, I'm planning to apply to a structured post-baccalaureate program for the 2017-2018 cycle. My big hope is for Johns Hopkins, Goucher, Scripps, or Bryn Mawr. I would love any feedback that anyone could provide to improve my chances as a candidate. Also, just because I think someone...

I'm just wondering, if someone was dead set on wanting to do linkage after getting accepted to one of these top post-bacc programs, what is the likeliness that this will be accomplished?
