post baccalaureate

After being rejected by every post-bacc. program, I sucked it up and applied to the UCLA extension program. They don't really offer a lot of info on their website. It's like, 'here's the courses, follow the guidelines and you'll be cool.' In other words, you are on your own. I don't mind this...

Has anyone been through a post Bacc program? I'm currently a Jr. getting my BS in Cardiovascular Technology. It gives me all my pre-reqs for medical school. To make my application more competitive, I was considering a post bacc program to raise my GPA. Could anyone tell me how much it affects...

Anybody have any opinions on the program? Basically, Harvard is offering online biochem, genetics, physiology, and immunology for a certificate of completion, geared towards those interested in medicine. It's $1800 for all 4 classes, and each class is 10 weeks long. There's various registration...

I couldn't find a thread for VCU's CERT Program for this upcoming fall (2017), so I figured I'd start one for anyone who will be attending/applying this program, especially for questions about the program, roommates, who's pre-med/pre-dental, etc. I was accepted a few weeks ago and have...

If I can get my cGPA and sGPA to a 3.4-3.5 after a year/year and a half during a post bacc, would it still be worth it to do a SMP? Or should I just shine through with my ECs, and apply DO and "low tier"?

I graduated from College in May 2016, and sent in my applications to MD/DO schools this summer and did not get interviews anywhere. (I sent primaries in mid-August because I could not financially afford to send them in any sooner). I have been spending this past year shadowing physicians and...

Hello! I wanted to create a thread for those of you who have been accepted or rejected from pre-med or post-bacc programs this year (2107) as well as your stats! Thanks!

Hi all, I applied this cycle and it is looking like I may not get in anywhere. I am curious as to what you all think would be a good move during my gap year. I am looking at either enrolling in a one year post-bacc/masters program for biomedical science, or working in a lab/hospital for a...

I got accepted into UT Dallas's CBioMed SMP program. I also have an interview with UPenn's post bacc program next week. Any thoughts on which program might be better for me? I'm currently a Texas resident finishing up my last year of undergrad and applying to medical school during the upcoming...

I'm looking for cheap rent. If anyone has any advice on where to find cheap rent, let me know.

Up until the 1st quarter of my junior year I was studying chemical engineering. I realized as soon as began taking my first engineering course that I did not want to continue with ChemE. I always considered the possibility of going to med school, but it wasn't until I shadowed a doctor during...

Hi all, I am a soon-to-be graduate with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have had an iffy academic transcript (suffered from an undiagnosed illness that was only recently diagnosed) with a 3.16 GPA so far. I am contemplating on pursuing medicine, which means that I would have to return to...

Temple ACMS 2017-2018 Thread. Any updates or news?

I'm posting this thread in hopes that I'll be able to get some current help. Right now, I'm an upper-sophomore English major at a CUNY school. I went into college thinking I'd give English up and be strictly pre-med, but I found myself totally disengaged and disconnected from professors in my...

Hi! I'm wondering on my chances of getting into a good post-bacc premed program. Specifically what role GPA plays in admission. I only took a few pre-med classes in college so I'd do one of the programs where you take the pre-med courses. Anyway, my GPA isn't the highest it's a bit above a...

Hey SDN! so recently I have decided that I am going to do a post-bacc before I apply to med school. I was going through a bunch of information and was confused about the difference between a post bacc and an "extension". I was looking up the lists of schools that offer pre med post baccs in...

I am looking for some advice regarding a post-bacc program. I have decided kind of later in the game to attend medical school.
