Hi, I've been a long time reader of these forums but this is my first time posting. After spending a long time debating whether to make a complete mid-life career change, I've decided to make the first step towards going to med-school, but as a non-traditional student I need to first get into a...
I'm graduating from undergrad in about a year, I have already taken all of my premedical coursework and I have a 3.3 cumGPA and 3.1 sciGPA to show for it. What's interesting about my case is that I have not failed any courses, in fact I have received a B in every single one of my science courses...

Anyone planning to take DIY Post-bacc at Harvard Extension School next year? And anyone is currently doing it? Any advice and recommendations? I am doing it next year starting in summer 2019.
Hello. I decided to take higher level science class in Harvard Extension School next summer. I'm not from Boston, but I will be working at Boston's Children Hospital, and I just really want to experience Boston for a while. Went there few months ago to attend HMS seminar and fell inlove with the...
Anyone taking medical science/biology classes in Harvard Extension School? Just classes, not in Post-bacc program. Are you going to recommend it?They have really interesting classes. Please share you experience.
Hello everyone! I'm what most postbac-premed offerers consider a "career-changer." I didn't know what I wanted to do straight out of high school, and settled on studying my passion--music. I now will be graduating with my B.A. in Music in December, but over the course of my junior and senior...
Hi folks,
I am currently deciding between attending the post bacc pre-med program at Wash U in St. Louis or at Harvard Extension. My start date would be August 2018 and I have been accepted to both programs.
I am from California and I completed by undergrad at UC Davis. I double-majored in...
If I take orgo in Harvard summer school can I send my grades to dental schools directly in the future?
The problem is my university does not accept other universities credits during the summer if they are in the
Boston area also. However, I do not want take orgo in my school during the summer...
Hi all,
Potential non-trad here, trying to figure out how to navigate my situation. I graduated college in 2016 with a 3.7 GPA with a degree in Biology. I dropped the pre-med track in UG, but after a year and a half of working in consulting, I am ready to dive into medicine and certain that it...
Hi, this is my first time on sdn! I'm thinking of taking some upper division biology classes at HES and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the classes, principles of genetics or cell biology. I'm deciding between these two classes and was wondering if anyone could tell me about...

For some background, I am a 2016 grad (biology & global health) who was originally pre-med and transitioned over to business/consulting towards the end of undergrad. Currently 23 years working at...
All,
I am currently hoping to begin taking classes this upcoming spring semester (Jan 2018). I graduated May 2016 with a degree in Biology, so I only have about 4 more classes to take before I can apply to med school: Organic Chem 2, Physics, 2, Biochemistry, and Gen Chem 2.
However, I am not...
After a multiple years of convincing myself that life in medicine is not for me, I keep coming back to it and I think I am officially ready to take the plunge.
Bit of backstory -- I graduated from a top 10 university in May 2016 with a degree in Biology and a GPA of ~3.7.
I was originally...
All,
Just wanted to see if anyone else is planning on taking courses this summer (particularly General Chemistry with Greg Tucci)! I'd love to meet or get in contact with any other HES students before or during the upcoming seven-week session!
For context, I'm a 24-year-old non-trad who plans...
