Hi everyone, hope you're all safe and doing well!
I'm a junior at JHU with a GPA that will be (ideally) graduating in 2021 with around a 3.65 if my trend continues. That could have looked different if this semester wasn't universal pass/fail but now I lose a semester of grades. I was told to...
I've just been accepted at UF Pre-health Post Bac, but since the program is relatively new, I can't really gauge how competitive the program is. Does anyone know the median gpa for the accepted students or is willing to share their stats?

Hey guys, I have a quick question for y’all! I am a current DO applicant but most likely won’t get in this year so I’m planning on doing a post Bacc program with either KCU or ARCOM. I was wondering what your thoughts were on either one? I interviewed for ARCOM’s med school this year but was...
Hi all!

I've been wondering about this recently. What is the difference in perception (if any) between extension schools like UC Berkeley extension, UCLA extension, and Harvard extension, vs. regular universities like state schools (through open enrollment)?

Hey guys. I have a sci gpa of around a 3.1 and a cum gpa of 3.5 so I was looking into a post bac program through UNE online just because the closest university to me is 2 hours away, and right now I can't leave this city for personal reasons. I spoke to some med school counselor who said she...

I was particularly looking into the one year programs.
I am ok to relocate, right now i am located on the west coast.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I took an upper level statistics class for pass/fail, and passed the class, but i didn't learn anything. I'm pretty sure I passed by the skin of my teeth. I think it'd be good to have a good statistics foundation, so what do you think about retaking this at a community college...
