Hello there, all! Starting up the thread for those that will be attending career changer PBPM programs this Spring (2024 - 2025 cohorts). I would love to hear where everyone has applied to / been accepted to / committed to! Right now, I have an acceptance to Hopkins and am planning to attend...

Hello, I've been recently accepted into both San Francisco State University's Formal Pre-Health Professions Program and UC Berkely Extension's Health Professions Program. I wasn't sure which one would be the better choice, could anyone who has been in either provide some insight?

Hey guys! I just wanted to start a thread for people accepted and applying to any of the Agnes Scott SMP/Post-bac programs. I just committed to the Med-Flex program. I am also low-key looking for a roommate around the Decatur area for the program so if you are in the same boat or know someone...

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 all! Seems like no one has really posted about the program for this particular cycle so here’s a thread to get it started! Feel free to post if you hear anything in the next few weeks or if you have any questions. Good luck to you all!

has anyone done the UF post bacc program (UF PHPB) or know anyone who has done it? I've been accepted to the program, but there seem to be very few reviews since the program is relatively new (2014).

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...

Hi, Has anyone applied to SUNY Purchase to complete pre-med requirements as a post-bacc? I am looking to do a DIY program but it looks very risky considering that post-baccs get last pick on classes and labs are separate from lecture. Anyone that has been there or know someone who has? Would be...

I am a graduate from Santa Clara University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology, and I am currently applying for Vet Schools for the 2019 application cycle. I am planning to apply to 13 vet schools in total. My question is regarding how Vet Schools actually look at the GPA you would earn form a...

Hi guys! I know I'm making this thread super early, but I just thought whoever else is interested in this cycle we can kind of bounce off of each other and go through this process together! Any advice, anything that can help each other out, just put it here! I know applications open September...

I applied this past cycle and received one interview. Stats: cGPA 3.51, sGPA 3.28, 500. So basically, I am deciding whether I want to do a formal post bacc program, like Penn's, or maybe even PCOM's or Tulane's MS programs, or should I not risk the possibility of doing poorly (also money...

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?

I was wondering if anyone had recent experiences with the LaSalle Post Bac program. I read the thread from 2010 but was hoping for more recent experiences. They don't seem super organized but i'm not in a position to be picky.

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?

General thread for the Rocky Vista University Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences program. I'm a current MSBS student at RVU. I'm happy to say last year's tumultuous thread isn't relevant to potential applicants. I encourage applicants to ask questions and my classmates to share their...

Hello, I would much appreciate some advice on what I should currently do now in order to prepare for medical school applications - pursue a Postbac program or SMP? I went to UCLA and my sGPA is 3.3 and my cGPA is 3.5. I initially had a 3.8 sGPA and cGPA my first 1.5 years of college but...

Hey guys - Does anyone have information regarding acceptance rates into post-bacc programs? I'm seeing recommendations (minimum GPA requirements, etc.), but I'm hoping to gain a better idea of my chance of admission. Thank you!

Hi all, I wasn't sure where exactly to post this since it's not quite Pre-Med and there isn't a separate forum for Nutrition either-- I guess "Pre-Health" is the best way to label where I am right now. In any case, I'm interested in pursuing the MS in Nutrition program at George Mason...

Hi all, Do you think with my stats and trend I should do a post-bacc? Or focus on writing better secondaries and getting more clinical experience? I applied to a bunch of schools (around 24 MD, a couple DO) and didn't get a single interview- I was pretty crushed to say the least. It took me...

Hi everyone! I've been accepted into these 3 SMP/academic enhancer programs and I really need some help deciding which program to attend, if anyone (especially individuals attending/have attended) would be able to offer some insight into your experiences and knowledge (at your earliest...

Hello guys for people who did the program what is the main difference between the two? I went to the Newark MBS page but cannot find a curriculum, on the other hand Piscataway seem to tailor their classes the same as RWJMS`s classes. I live in NY (one of the boroughs) so Newark is better...

Hey all! I wanted to ask anyone if they know of anyone who has attended this program or themselves attended the program. I know they take 8 students into their entering class ( I am assuming this is a good thing) but I was wanting to gain more insight. Of course if you have not done the program...
