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...

So... I have a dilemma. This is a very, very long story so if you can't read long posts and winded stories, please just exit or keep scrolling. I apologize for those who read this entire thing and find that they've wasted their time.

I tried to find a thread similar to this, but I couldn't, so I will ask here:
So, most post-bac programs I have applied to (total: 6) wont sent out interview invites until next year. However, I just completed an interview (let's call it school A) and will hear back in the next few weeks and...
I am graduating from Wayne State University in May with a cGPA of 3.57 and sGPA of 3.5. I am taking the MCAT in February. I was wondering what are the stats from those who applied and were accepted into UofM's M.S in Physiology? How selective of a program is it?
Also, any feedback from those...

Hey everyone,
Reapplicant here. Applied to about 26 schools this cycle in AACOMAS (second cycle). I've been getting rejections even quicker than last cycle. Need some guidance on how to prepare if I do have to reapply? My application from last cycle differs by 4 more post-bacc credits (got an...
Hello all!
I am looking for advice as I decide the next steps of my pre-med journey. I have a B.S. with a GPA of 2.92. Unfortunately I was very sick throughout my undergraduate studies and my GPA suffered. This only further instilled my desire to work in the medical field and after taking a...
Hi, I (24F) am returning to my university in Spring 2020 to begin a DIY post bacc for medical school. I graduated with my B.A. in Psychology in May 2019 (3.83 GPA) and am seeking advice for which courses I need to retake to apply and to be competitive. I've read that some schools do not accept...
Ok guys I’m finally going to post...
I’ve been lurking for a while but recently made an account.
I am a Texas resident who attended a public Texas school. I graduated with a PRETTY bad gpa, 2.6 in Biology. I honestly don’t even know what my science GPA is. My initial goal when graduating...
Greetings,
I’m needing some advice on how to move forward!
Background-
I’ve always had my eyes set on medical school! I was in foster care as a kid so when finishing high school I went straight to CC, trying to figure out working paying rent and going to school was rough while also having my...
I'm looking to add some units to my science workload over the next year or so, and I'm currently enrolled in General Human Anatomy at a CC. Outside of obvious padder science classes like Intro. to Astronomy and Biotechnology, the only "rigorous-enough" science classes are Anato/Physio and...
Hi there!
I'm beginning my premed journey and looking at postbac programs in NYC. I know that NYU's free tuition for their med school is relatively new (like in their 2nd year or so?), but I'd love to increase my chances of getting accepted there or to another as-yet-undiscovered-to-me program...
I've recently started a career change/transcript repair post-bacc, and I'm only enrolled in 3 classes currently: Anatomy (4), Gen Bio 1 (5), and Gen Psych (3), for a total of 10 units. The bio class is at UCLA, and since it's a quarter system, it's reduced to like 3.3 units. I'd like to start...
Hi guys! I just finished my SMP and finished with a 3.45 which sucks but I do have a strong upward trend. I actually took 56 credits over two years and in my last year (36 credits) I finished with a 3.78. My low GPA is specifically from the first year. Do I still have a shot
Do I have a chance...

Over the past three years, I've been getting a pull towards medicine. It started my senior year of college with wanting my Wilderness First Aide (WFA)...
I’ve been accepted into Columbia’s postbacc program. It seems great, but it’s VERY expensive. Around $80,000 for the two years (which I can pay for but yikes). Fordham also has a postbacc which is significantly cheaper. But I can’t seem to get a good sense of how much of an advantage I would be...

So I’ve been a lurker here but I was hoping to get a few questions clarified. I did my undergrad at a research heavy uni (UCD) ~sgpa 2.9, cgpa 3.2) and now finishing up my 1 year formal post bac at a state university which I did well in. Now I’m looking at SMP and considering if I should do one...
Hi,
I'm choosing between post- bacc master's programs and one program I'm looking at grades courses as Pass/Fail.
Do you know the GPA is calculated from this type of grading scale?
Thanks!
So, I've been doing extensive research on the medical admissions process and reading a lot of posts on SDN. I definitely got 2 things:
1) For those who graduated with a low GPA in college and want to career change, you need go through a "reinvention", and
2) You should avoid prerequisites...
Hi there! I am looking for any and all advice I can get here. I am about to graduate undergrad next month. I applied to medical school last summer just in case, but i did pretty bad on the MCAT and did not get accepted. I have a 3.3 cGPA and 3.5 sGPA. I got a 490 on the MCAT. I would love to do...

Does anyone have any experience with the Texas Tech Masters/Postbacc at either el paso or lubbock. I can't seem to find anyone with info. It seems pretty good b/c they gurantee an interview at PLFSOM for either that cycle or the next but i can't find anyone that's been through it unfortunately.
I've been looking through some postbacc schools since I need to take the prereqs, and came across UCLA Extension. It looks like this school offers UCLA undergrad classes with an “XL” tag, meaning there’s an undergraduate counterpart to them at UCLA.
There are also some classes that are designed...
