post bacc

I'm a pre-med student who just recently graduated from UC Irvine. I am looking to do a DIY post-bacc in the fall/winter to raise my gpa and was thinking of UCLA extension. However, I have heard that extension courses are known to be "easier" than actual UCLA courses designated for their admitted...

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...

Hi everyone! I just graduated in May with a B.A. in Psychology. I'm now looking for more research experience before grad school (most likely Clinical Psych Ph.D., possibly Psy.D. as well) because I only had research experience during my senior year. I'm looking for research assistant/research...

Hello! So I am to start my post back this fall at CSU Fullerton. My original plan to pay my post bacc has fell through and now I am scrambling for other solutions. I have been looking into loans but despite my credit score actually being good, apparently my credit history isn't long enough...

Hi everyone! I was recently accepted to UKCOM's Master of Science in Medical Sciences program, so I'm wondering if anyone had thoughts on it. What's the program like? Anyone graduated and found success applying to MD schools? There doesn't appear to be a guaranteed interview with their med...

Hello! Let me give you my back story. I started at a community college. I graduated with my AA degree in Elementary Education and transferred to the University of Central Florida where I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my BS in Elementary Education. My cumulative GPA was a 3.97. I'll be working...

Hi everyone! I was recently accepted to Drexel's BMS program, so I'm wondering if anyone had thoughts on it. I know Drexel has a bunch of pre-med programs (DPMS, IMS, etc.) but after being rejected from DPMS they offered me admission for their BMS program. What's the program like? What is the...

Looking for more info on the program because I think it's pretty new for a post-bacc but is there anyone that has heard of it or been a part of it? And why would someone apply here versus Case Western's SMP? Any info is much appreciated!

Is anyone a current student, alumnus/a, or even heard about Lipscomb University's Biomolecular Sciences MS Program? Haven't really found a lot of info online from other students I am interested in applying to this program to enhance my academic credentials before I apply to med school next...

Hi everyone!! First post here after reading this website for a couple years lol Is anyone a current student, alumnus/a, or even heard about Lipscomb University's Biomolecular Sciences MS Program? Haven't really found a lot of info online from other students :( I am interested in applying to...

Hi there! I'm currently a rising senior at a small, private Midwestern college graduating in June 2019 with a B.S. in Mathematics with the former hopes to be an actuary. I've always been extremely fascinated with the health field and have been on the fence about my degree but never felt I "had...

I have recently been thinking about going to med school and I am not sure where to start as I am a non-traditional student. I am a rising senior with a psych and neuroscience double major, though most of my courses are in psychology. I had been planning on going to a PhD program in clinical...

Hello all, Was hoping that the experienced among you might have some thoughts: I'm a non-trad, zero science undergrad (though a lot in HS) looking to go back to school once I resign from the Army next year to get vet school prereqs and then, of course, go to vet school. I have a bachelors from...

Hey everyone, I am currently in a Master's program and will be applying to dental school this cycle. I have completed roughly 20 credits of graduate level classes and have a 4.0 GPA so far. I know some schools like Tufts like graduate students and matriculate a large percentage each year. Are...

Hey everyone! I am so curious. I've seen almost nothing about this program, but it's new so I kind of get it. Has anyone applied? Been accepted? Considering attending?

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...

I've been accepted to PCOM MSBS, VCOM/Bluefield MABS, and Barry University's MSBS, and I am wait listed at Tufts MSBS. After reading the comments on the entirety of multiple threads it has brought some light each program. I was wondering if anyone had any other input/opinions on which program...

Hi All, I'm a hopeful non-traditional student, age 27, with a BS in Nutritional Science. My degree required me to take most of the pre-med classes, and I did pretty well, graduating in 2015 with a GPA of 3.79. So I don't quite fall into either category that most post-baccs are looking to...

hello!! first time posting on here. I did a search but nothing really came up so sorry if this information is somewhere I haven't found. I'm currently a rising junior but after messing around with my degree audit, I realized that if I took out all the pre-med reqs I have left, I can graduate...

If this is in the wrong place, please help me out! I'm currently in gen chem 2 through the University of New England online program. My score in the class is in the upper 70's. The professor says this is "above average" but won't tell me if there's a curve or not. If it's curved and I am in...

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...

Hey all! Just got accepted into this program today for the pre-professional track! I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this program/can touch on what the med school admissions process looks like after? Also I really dont want to take another gap year after my Masters, is that common...

Hey all, thanks for taking the time to read this post! I need some advice Background: I didn’t have the best undergrad performance, cGPA 3.14, sGPA 3.09, MCAT 501 (PSB 124, BB 128, CP 122, CARS 127), and was wondering if you think an SMP would be right for me? My last two semesters show an...

Just made this account after bouncing between different ideas/advice from other posts. I'm a rising senior undergrad and have pretty much decided on a gap year. I was introduced to the idea of a postbacc program a couple of months ago and started researching my options. I was mainly looking for...

The process of applying to medical school is stressful. Applying with a low science GPA can make the process even more nerve-wracking. For over five years with the UC Davis School of Medicine Postbaccalaureate Program, I specialized in helping students with low numbers apply successfully to...

Forgive me if the title of this thread seems confusing, but I have a few questions. I am a URM (Black Woman, 26) and I finally decided to pursue my original dream of becoming a physician. I graduate in June with my Bachelors in Health Science (finally), but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to...

Hey guys, Basically what title says. Had time poor management and was over-involved in undergrad but learned from mistakes. Graduate program at Johns Hopkins was 1 year post-bacc, 40 credits in sciences. Earned a MS Biotech through it. AACOMAS verified stats: undergrad cGPA/sGPA...

nvm

If I'm not mistaken the cGPA is only for undergrad, but does sGPA carry into grad programs/post-baccs? I'll be taking physics, biochem, and orgo lab as a post-bacc and wasn't sure if these courses would be counted towards my sGPA.

I wanted to see what some opinions were on my situation. (tl;dr at bottom) So I'm trying to go to med school. Regardless of my grades, this is something that I'm extremely motivated to do, so giving up's not an option. Anyway, med school was on the table when I started ugrad, but not really...

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...

Hi - Have any of you had any experience with either one of these programs? I have tentatively decided on Jefferson's program, but just wondering if people have any comparisons they would like to offer for the programs before I finally decide. Any pros/cons you can think of for the...

So here are my stats: -cGPA 3.0, sGPA <3.0. Bachelor's in biology, graduated in 2014 -2 years working as a physical therapy aide -2 years as a volunteer EMT -1 year working as a clinical assistant in a neurosurgical practice -have both OR and in-office shadowing experience, about 75 hours total...

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. :)

Hi guys, I've done my fair share of lurking and research about this topic but i think my situation is unique enough to not apply to the other posts. Im currently a senior graduating in a couple of weeks and have decided to go MD instead of PA . My situation is that I need to take a gap year to...

Hello, I am a student that recently graduated from an international university in South Korea and have plans on attending a Post-bacc program. Unfortunately, due to some language barrier, I was not able to take some of the math/science classes that are required to get into a post-bacc. Another...
