What is a better program for pre-dental students Cornell University/Division of Nutritional Sciences Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Program in Health Studies or GeorgeSquared's Program - GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN ADVANCED BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES

I'm a Canadian undergrad student currently studying for the MCAT (TPR most recent score 510) which I will be writing in August and a fairly decent GPA (around 3.95). My parents are a little on my case about having a backup plan in case **** hits the proverbial fan... They seem to think that...

Hello, I am a rising undergraduate senior planning for plans after graduating. I currently have about a 3.07 cumulative and 2.56 science GPA, and I am very interested in going into a DO program. Before that, I am interested in going into a formal post-bacc program such as VCOM for its reserved...

There have probably been a million threads about this, but I really need some advice on applying to a post-bacc program!! I just graduated from the University of Michigan (May 2016) with a degree in Industrial and Operations Engineering. I have an overall gpa of 3.64 (my major gpa is probably...

Hi All - I apologize in advance for the lengthy post. In a few months I will be a senior in college in an information systems major with a 3.8 GPA. I also had a SAT score in the 98th percentile. A naive college freshman, I picked my major somewhat arbitrarily. I was never truly interested in...

Hello everyone, I am not entirely sure if I am posting in the correct part of the forum. I am sorry about that and also that I do not have a lot of information to provide. I graduated about a month ago with an (undergrad degree) B.A. in Neuroscience with a 2.84 cGPA. I have not calculated my...

I am currently deciding if I should attend the Georgetown SMP or if I should work for a clinical practice in my gap year after completing my degree. I have a 3.61 GPA, 3.59 science GPA. My main question is: is my GPA too high for an SMP to be really helpful to my application? In the last year...

Hi, I am currently an undergraduate student at Duke majoring in biomedical engineering. My goal is to attend USUHS medical school, but my engineering coursework took a real hit on my GPA, (~3). I am looking into ways to raise my GPA, such as post-bacc programs. If I were to raise it to a more...

I just graduated in May 2016 as an English major. I have done my physics, intro chem, orgo, stats, calc requirements and one semester of bio. I need to retake physics and bio and was hoping to do so at a post bacc but missed most of the deadlines, save for one which I'm not too sure about (Elms...

Hi guys, I am just wondering about my path for SMP. Currently, I have two choices. #1. I can finish the SMP in two years by taking out loan and apply after the first year after finishing 18 credit hours. This would make me take out a loan and pile up even more loan before medical school...

Having worked a year I realized that my ambitions really lie towards pursing a healthcare career. But the thing that's really holding me back right now are my grades. I finished my undergrad a year ago with a (terrible) cumulative GPA of 2.6 and an even lower science GPA. There were some things...

My GPA is a 2.5 and I'm a senior. I've had trouble focusing on school (finally diagnosed with ADHD 5 months ago and have been making all A's for the past two semester after diagnosis/medication). I am certain that I have the ability to do well in my classes if given the opportunity to redo, now...

Sorry for the ambiguous post title. Long story short, I just graduated college with a liberal arts degree, took a lot but not all of the pre med classes I need to apply, did well, but am looking at a year of more classes and studying for the MCATS to be able to apply this time next year. My...

I am currently on the waitlist for NYIT-Arkansas Campus and have been accepted to Tufts MBS Program. It is a completely NEW DO school. It would be the first class ever. So there are no stats on anything. Tufts is a well known SMP program. NYIT- Arkansas: Pro: US DO school Cons: In Arkansas...

Can someone please help? I just finished my undergrad with a social science degree. I realized late in my undergraduate career that I wanted to pursue medicine. To jumpstart that path, I decide to take chem 1&2, physics 1, and bio 1. Unbeknownst, I realized too late that most programs either...

Hi! I'm fairly new this forum so I apologize in advance if this is a repetitive post. I just find more comfort in explaining my personal scenario! I am currently going to be a senior at my state school majoring in Neuroscience. I began undergrad being pre-med and continued these courses for my...

Anyone currently enrolled or completed this program? I've been accepted to this program, Columbia's postbacc premed program and Harvard extension premedical program. Columbia's program seems outrageously expensive, and Harvard extension seems a bit too informal? So I think Stony Brook may be...

I'm an Anthropology major who will have taken Physics 1, Bio 1, Bio 2, and Evolutionary biology before I graduate. However, I won't have taken Chem 1 + 2, Orgo 1 + 2, Physics 2, or Biochem before I graduate. Do I still qualify for a formal post-bacc program or have I already taken too many...

I'm confused on application timing. I applied this cycle and wasn't successful. Planning on doing post bacc program. But if I do a post bacc starting in july/aug should I still re apply for dental school this upcoming cycle or should I take another year off and apply after finishing post bacc...
