Hi! Can anyone tell me what the interviews were like for either Bryn Mawr or Goucher? I'm nervous for mine and it would help to have an idea of what to expect. Thanks! Amalia23

Hey! I’m thinking about doing a postbac program/special masters program after graduation(spring 2019) but I’m having a hard time finding one I meet the qualifications for. So far, I’ve taken every requirement except physics. This puts me in a spot where I’ve taken too many classes for a career...

Hi everyone, I graduated college in May and have moved back home to study for the GRE. After I finish, I'm going to take a gap year and work. During that time I'd like to do research in the town I'm in, preferably in a university (there are three universities around me that have psych phd...

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 realize that there are tons of forums for the other Tulane MS programs but there is not one with sufficient information on their micro & immunology program. I was recently accepted and received some info from the program director and wanted to share it to help anyone applying to postbac...

Hey Everyone! It's been a long time, hope you are all doing well. I wrote a forum on the nontraditional section, but go no response as of today, so I thought that I might try writing one on this forum, since, from my personal opinion, a lot of pre-meds know much more about the process. I am...

Hello friends, I had a very rough finish to my degree (although those circumstances have now been resolved) and am now looking at a 3.00 cGPA and 2.90 sGPA (with a 516 MCAT). I've finished all the prerequisites except for Orgo II and I'm planning to substitute Biochem for that, but I'm open to...

Hello everyone, I was recently accepted into both the Marian BMS program and Touro Harlem MS. I’m very conflicted on which to choose and would really like some advice, especially from anyone who has done either of these programs. I have a cumulative GPA of 3.15 and a science GPA of 3.35 with...

Hi, everyone! I recently got accepted into the USC and Chapman postbac programs and will have my Cal State Fullerton and Charles Drew postbac interviews in the next couple of days.

Two Scenarios: Scenario 1: I apply to my desired medical school let's call it MedSchoolX, they deny me but give me helpful advice to improve myself as a candidate, they advise me to take Post-bac and improve my MCAT, I then reapply having finished a 1 year post-bac and improved my MCAT to Z...

Hey guys, Sugar Plum here, I need your advice; and before you comment on my title hear me out lol. So I am graduating in may, with a degree that has basically nothing to do with pre-medical/medical schools, well not as much. Anyways, I go to a university which has 4 campuses, and 1 of them...

Hey guys, This is my first post and I'd really appreciate any feedback! I graduated last May, and took this year off to travel/study for the DAT. Dental school is undoubtedly the goal. I have done research outside of SDN about which route to take but keep getting conflicting answers. I want to...

Hey guys, I'm graduating with my BS in Bio soon and my plan originally was to take a gap year during which I would gain more clinical experience in the hospital (at the moment I have about 145 hours), shadow some doctors, and prepare for the MCAT. However, today my friend told me that most...

A lot of the forums regarding the SFSU Post-Bac program are a little dated. I'll give you my perspective on the program. I did complete the Career Changer track and was accepted into dental school. I haven't decided on what dental school to attend (Loma Linda/USC/CaseW and waitlisted for UCSF)...

Hello, Current cGPA: 3.18 White Male 21YO Cell and Molecular Biology senior graduating in May. Graduated in 3.5 semesters and due to hand injuries I couldn't take the MCAT last spring. I went through courses too quickly, worked 40+ hours a week and never could figure out how to pull off As...

I'm graduating in April and will be working full-time as a dental assistant during my gap year. I want to retake orgo 2 lecture and physics 2 with calc (C and B- respectively). Would it be possible to take science classes online if they're offered at a 4 year institution? What if I took classes...

Ended up getting 4 As and 1 B (in a lab)! My best ever (and busiest) semester since starting college and that too with 13 credits and hospice volunteering. So now I turn to you guys for advice. Post bacc cGPA: 3.923 Post bacc sGPA: 3.923 uGPA to date: 3.20 AACOMAS sGPA: 3.04 AMCAS sGPA: 2.96...

Hey everybody. I am a recent graduate with a good upward trend in my last 70 or so units, which were also heavy in the sciences . Unfortunately, my freshman and beginning sophomore year were not so hot. I was thinking about taking courses at the local city college in my town and was wondering...

Hello, This is my first time making a post, and I was wondering what is the possibility of me getting into one of these two post bac programs? I am considering these programs because I didn't know that these kinds of structured programs existed to fast-track people into medical school. I...

My advisor recently mentioned to me that dental schools pay attention mainly to the last 60 units of science coursework when evaluating students, especially GPA enhancing post-bac applicants. Has anyone else heard this?

Hi, wanted to get some input: I am planning on applying to Western U's MSMS program which is a 1-year deal. I have LORs on Interfolio from the last few years in two versions from each letter writer--one that uses the term "special masters program" and the other the uses "postbac program" when...

What's your story? I'm graduating nursing school soon and I'm about to start taking pre-med courses within the next year, but I've found myself needing reassurance because I'm not exactly getting the encouragement I wanted from the majority of friends and family. Even my advisor gave me a hard...

I'm a senior nursing student graduating in May 2018. I want to start taking my med school pre-reqs during Summer or Fall 2018, but I'm having trouble with maneuvering applications. I only want to take classes and at this time do not intend to pursue a second bachelor's degree. I don't think I'll...
