post bacc applications

Posting this in case anyone is ever interested in applying to post bac programs or in the midst of the application process and has questions. Feel free to DM me even if it’s years after this is posted. Interviewed and got accepted at UVA, Bryn Mawr, and Goucher in the 2020-2021 admissions cycle...

When I started looking for Post Baccalaureate Programs there was stark lack of information on the programs I was interested in. Hopefully this post can help someone. I only applied to one school, Northwestern University, because it was my favorite of the Post Baccs I researched. It has very...

Hi all! I'm current applying to post baccalaureate pre-med programs on the Postbac CAS and I have a question about experiences and our CV/Resume. I understand we're required to fill our the experiences and upload a CV/resume. I, however, don't quite understand the difference. Is it acceptable...

Hey! I recently applied to Loyola Marymount Post Bacc in California. Has anyone heard back from the program? Has anyone matriculated? Any feedback on the program?

Hi everyone, I urgently need advice on choosing postbac programs. I'm currently working full time at a non-profit on public health program management, but I'm planning to go to a postbac program this year to prepare myself into medical schools. However my problem is, I used to studied...

Hi everyone, I have decided to submit my deposit for Goucher's PBPM program for the 2019-2020 class year. Is there anyone else who has decided to join the class? I was admitted to both Bryn Mawr and Goucher and ultimately sided with Goucher because Bryn Mawr's program would have required...

Hello, I am a 21 yr old AA male from a top 20 undergrad institution. I am currently a senior and plan on taking the MCAT early next year. I plan on applying to med school in the 2019-2020 cycle, but i am not convinced in the strength of my application. Basically, I am looking for advice on any...

Hi all, I am interested in Columbia’s post-bacc program due to their multiple linkage programs. However, my undergrad GPA is low and I am obviously worried that I’ll immediately be weeded out because of this. I graduated from a top 20 public university (full tuition scholarship) with a 3.13...

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...

Hey Guys, thanks for all your support so far! Because of your help I have gained admission to the following programs: - Temple ACHS - BU MAMS - Loyola MAMS and MSMP - Drexel IMS - Rutgers MBS Newark And awaiting decisions from - Cincinnati MSP (waitlisted) - Rosalind Franklin BMS (under...

I just found out about Interfolio which is very useful for the post bacc programs that I'm applying this summer. But since I'm a senior and I see an option on Interfolio to ask for either general or specific letters of recommendation, would it be a good idea to ask my professors to submit a...

Does anyone have any free time to look over my personal statement? I have literally beat myself up about it for days now, but I finally think it is halfway decent. :)

Dr. Finkel, the founder of Insider Medical Admissions, has incomparable experience. She is a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Medical School. On completing her residency at Harvard, she was asked to stay on as faculty at Harvard Medical School and spent five years teaching at the...

Currently, due to personal issues last quarter, I have a cGPA of 2.55 (waiting for one more grade to come back in Epidemiology which should be a B). I'm not entirely sure of my sGPA because I have attended 3 (yes, 3) colleges throughout my tenure as a student and I do not have access to all the...

Hello to anyone kind enough to read this, I'm new and this is my first post here (although I've read several posts by many of you). I graduated with a BS in Biology. I finished with a horrendous GPA of 2.4 and 134 credit hours. (I'd failed and retook a few classes, but was mostly a C student)...

Hi everybody! This is my first post on this website, and I just wanted to get your opinions on my current situation. As of right now I am a senior Psychology student at UCI, and I currently have a 3.195 cGPA. I was a non-traditional pre med student in undergrad, meaning I took some of my pre req...

Pretty much just looking for helpful opinions here whether they're negative or positive. Basically finished finished undergrad with these stats: 3.46 cGPA 3.35 sGPA 497 MCAT (retook just waiting for scores (hopefully 500+)) Really looking to get into a northern school. I am wondering if it's...

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...

Hey guys! Haven't seen a thread for this yet so figured I'd start one. Has anyone else applied for the post bacc yet?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for advise based on some raw numbers/information: I am a CA resident. I graduated college 4 years ago, have since worked as a medical scribe, in a clinic for the underserved, and had many volunteer/shadowing hours (have not had research work since my undergrad...

Starting a forum for those applying to the Mills College Post Baccalaureate Pre-Medical Program in 2018. I've seen past threads for the Mills Post Bacc, but none for this year. If you're applying, where are you from? If you went to visit the campus, did you like it? Any concerns about the program?

I would like to know what are the chances of foreigners (on US) to get a post-bacc diploma in pre med. I obtained my bachelor's degree (in Physics, non trad) in Asia but I need to boost up my GPA to get in to med school. Checked some schools but they don't seem to allow int students with student...

New thread for the VCOM/Bluefield post bacc program!

I am currently applying to medical school. Still waiting to hear back if I have any interviews. I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for post bacc programs? I'm planning on doing one next year if I don't get in. I've been looking at the program at Mississippi College. I've also...

Hi! I couldn't find a preexisting thread for Georgetown SMP 2018-2019 class applicants, so I thought I'd make one. I applied 10/14 and my application was marked complete 10/18. On Nov 1st I got an email saying my application was under review and I should receive a response in 2-3 weeks. My...

Thought I might start a thread for the BMS program. Anyone applying this year for the program?

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...

Hi everyone, I'm applying to post bacc programs in the spring because my GPA is somewhat weak (3.25, science...somewhat lower) and I didn't have time to take my MCAT being that I finished biochem in August and the last date was a month later. I am currently a senior microbiology major at Ohio...
