post bacc

I posted this in the Pre-Med DO thread, and don't know if it probably should be here instead. So I applied this past cycle and have only received one interview (TouroNY) and was waitlisted for an interview (Touro-Nev). I have not heard back concerning the interview, and this late, I do not...

So I applied this past cycle and have only received one interview (TouroNY) and was waitlisted for an interview (Touro-Nev). I have not heard back concerning the interview, and this late, I do not expect good news. My stats were cGPA 3.51, sGPA 3.28 (upward trend), 500, and OOS. I have 100+ hrs...

So I've basically been pre dental my whole life, and after some soul searching I realized that just isn't what I want to spend the rest of my life doing and have switched to pre med. I was wondering about any successful programs you guys know of that would help me out. Currently looking at...

Thanks for the help everyone!

Hello everyone, I know there have been a few posts about this, but nothing has really struck me yet so I thought why not just post my own situation. I recently got accepted into the post-bacc program at Wash U, but do not know if it is worth the money. They want me to take 30 credit hours. I...

I'm trying to decide between the Tufts Pre-Med Post Bacc and the University College Wash U St.Louis Post Bacc programs. Does anyone have personal experience with either of these programs or advice for choosing between programs in general?

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...

Hey all, Looking into several Post Bacc programs (Goucher, U Penn, UVA, GW, Georgetown, Wash U, etc.). My stats are the following: 3.55 overall GPA, 4.0 sGPA (but have only taken two sciences classes), undergrad degree is in Spanish (also studied Arabic), lots of international travel (have...

I have a question about the information given by the AAMC list of post-bacc programs. When you click on a school's program and it gives information, it notes, "Applied to medical school the previous year" and "Accepted to medical school the previous year" (link to page for example...

Hi All, This is my first time posting so here it goes. I'll try to keep it concise. Undergrad: 2.7c, 2.7s 1 year Postbacc (at a 4 year uni): 3.82 -Full load science courses MCAT: 520 Underrepresented minority, research in plant sciences/wildlife bio, 3 years EMT experience, 2 years teaching...

Hello, I'm looking to apply to many post-baccs to improve my academic record. Depression affected my path and made me who I am, and I feel weird leaving it out of my personal statement. that being said, i understand it makes me look a bit weak. I wouldn't be applying to these programs if I...

Hi All -

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting on SDN, so I hope this works out. I'm currently a junior at a well known state university (won't specify for security reasons lol), and I have been a research assistant in one of the psych labs on campus since the summer going into my sophomore year...

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...

~CA resident I'm currently a 4th year at a UC and I'm going to be graduating with a cGPA of 3.43 and sGPA of 3.49. I initially planned to do a post-bacc program after graduation to try and raise my GPA for med school applications. Do you think it would be a better idea/stand out more if instead...

So I’m a bit concerned about what to do after I graduate this spring. My cGPA was around a 3.2 at the end of last fall semester and I’m sure my sGPA is closer to a 3.0 and I recently scored a 23 on my DAT. I’m already set on doing a post bac but I also have a few people telling me to also apply...

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...

Hey guys I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to improve my application for this cycle. I am a non traditional student and had to take a few pre-reqs to be considered last year. I applied last year and got interviewed and waitlisted at tennessee and also waitlisted at UF...

I have a 2.8 gpa right now, will probably get up to 2.9 after this semester (last semester and hopefully this one above 3.7). My sGPA isn't so great, probably around 2.5. I have been studying for the DAT for a while now and am confident (or at least hope) that I will get around a 23 on it. For...

I recently graduated with a BS in Human Physiology. I am sitting at a 3.0 which is obviously too low for a medical college application. During this time I am also conducting research with an ER doc completely volunteer based where he has allowed me to head my own proposal and study as the...

I am a fourth year undergraduate student at UC Irvine (CA resident). I'm applying to med schools in June 2018, and my sGPA will be 3.43 by the end of my last academic quarter. How would MD med schools view me taking extra courses at UCI over the summer AFTER I graduate to boost my undergraduate...

I have been applying to dental school since 2014 while making improvements over the years. Currently: 3.28c 3.28s GPA (VCU CERT:3.46) DAT (3rd attempt): 20AA 21TS (Bio 23 Chem 21 Ochem 20 RC 20 PA 22 QR 17) over 2000 dental assisting hours and a bachelors in Biology, 700 hours volunteer...

Forgive me if there's already a thread but I did not see one for next year's so I figure I'll start :) Is anyone applying there/have applied there already? I'm hoping to apply to the one year program.

So, my GPA is 3.18 and sGPA is 2.95. I hadn't thought about medical school until about a year ago. Before that, I wasn't very motivated and didn't know which profession to pursue. I always liked science and was looking into pharmacy and dentistry as well didn't like either. Love the Hospital...

Hello, during the first 2 years of undergrad, I didn't do as well as I should've due to family circumstances and me just not being well-adjusted to college. I'm trying to improve for my last 2 years in undergrad but have resigned to doing a post-bacc (Harvard?) or a SMP (Boston U). PLEASE, any...

So I need some direction as to what to do after graduation. I think my sGPA is too low and was planning on doing a post-bacc or SMP anyways to increase my chances of getting in. I know I definitely need improvement but I would like direction as to where. Cumulative GPA 3.35 AMCAS sGPA 3.26...

I finished college 2 yrs ago with my BSN and am currently an RN. At the time I was debating whether I should go into the other allied health fields, so I completed the entire pre-health track besides Physics I & II and Orgo lab. My science gpa is a hair around a 3.75 and my overall is a 3.84. Of...

hey everyone, I’m currently applying to several schools using the post bacc CAS system, but there are some issues with it. I can’t change my term deletion or choose multiple terms. Also, for the CAS stream for the Calstate post bacc, it only lets you choose either post bacc certificate or...

Hi, I would really appreciate some advice about the next steps I should take. I'm not sure if I should look at a post bacc or take another approach. If this isn't the right place to post this, please let me know and I will delete it or contact a moderator to delete! Here is my situation: I...

Hi. Currently, I am about to finish my senior year at the University of Southern California. I entered undergraduate as pre-med and completed some of the requirements. However, after my first semester of sophomore year I realized that I might not be cut out for it, and that maybe that wasn't...

- Thanks!

(current junior) Unfortunately most of my math science courses were during my first 1.5 years of college when I had a parathyroid tumor which affected my ability to study, exhausted all the time, felt bad, etc. Once i had the tumor removed, I felt great and I'm doing better in my courses. So I...

Hello everyone, Does it really matter where you complete your dental pre-reqs for dental school so long as they are completed at a 4-year institution? For example: If I'm interested in attending Tufts School of Dental Medicine, would I be a more enticing applicant if I completed their...

I have recently discovered a passion for medicine. I understand the long journey I will have to take and that has not deterred me one bit. I have has a successful short career in finance and I would like to take a post bacc program, as you may assume my undergrad was in econ. I looked into...
