postbacc

Hi all, Potential non-trad here, trying to figure out how to navigate my situation. I graduated college in 2016 with a 3.7 GPA with a degree in Biology. I dropped the pre-med track in UG, but after a year and a half of working in consulting, I am ready to dive into medicine and certain that it...

Hey to anyone who reads this, At most what I get from this post is expressing my issues, but hopefully insight will guide me to the right path. I finished undergrad with a great GPA and background in research, volunteering and extracurriculars. I grew up with 6 siblings (all 7 from the same...

I'm a communication disorder major thinking about doing either OT/PT. My GPA sits around 3.2-3.4 depending on how I do my last semester. Should I/could I get into a post-bacc program or should I just take prereqs for the DPT or Masters of OT programs? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, Sugar Plum here, I try to be as positive as I can be, on this site especially; but lately I realized my situations are not working for me. I am a fifth year undergraduate, hopefully graduating this year, with not a great GPA, by the time I graduate I will probably have a 3.0...

Tried finding more information on this by searching past posts but nothing similar. Currently doing a Post-bacc at state Uni. Taking 4 classes and one lab. One of the classes I’m risking getting a B (at a 88 right now) but I need a 100 on the next test so most likely will end up getting a...

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...

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...

If anyone has gone through or knows someone who has, please post your advice. I have made mistakes partly due to no guidance and trying to figure things out on my own so I hope someone could please help as I attempt to take the next step. I studied pre-med in college. Have always been a good...

I graduated from undergrad in 2014, cGPA 3.25 sCPA 3.03. I was forced to take a year off from everything after I graduated from undergrad, but have spent the last 2 years working as a medical scribe. My highest old MCAT score was 25 (PS 7, VR 10, BS 8). I am scheduled to take the new test on...

Hello All I am an asian male. I am rising senior undergraduate at Hopkins and I have a 3.28 cGPA in engineering. I have completed all of the required courses for post bacc (Bio/Lab, Chem/Lab, Physics/Lab, Orgo/Lab, Psych). I have a sGPA of around 3.1. I will be taking the MCAT sometime in the...

I'm in a dilemma between selecting an SMP (Loyola MSMP) or taking classes at Northwestern University through their evening certificate program. I'm very low-income and it would be a big burden to take out that almost $50,000 loan for the SMP. Plus, I currently work in a local healthcare job...

All, I am currently hoping to begin taking classes this upcoming spring semester (Jan 2018). I graduated May 2016 with a degree in Biology, so I only have about 4 more classes to take before I can apply to med school: Organic Chem 2, Physics, 2, Biochemistry, and Gen Chem 2. However, I am not...

After a multiple years of convincing myself that life in medicine is not for me, I keep coming back to it and I think I am officially ready to take the plunge. Bit of backstory -- I graduated from a top 10 university in May 2016 with a degree in Biology and a GPA of ~3.7. I was originally...

Hello! So this is my first post and I could really use the help. I just graduated in May with my BS in Public Health and am planning to go back to med school eventually, taking as much time as I need. I struggled a little in my first few years of undergrad and didn't do well in the few science...

Hi everyone, I was recently admitted to the premedical postbacc program at Washington University in St. Louis. Is there anyone here that is currently in the program or has completed the program that would be willing to share their experience and answer a few questions I have? Thank you!

Nontrad here. My projected graduation date is 2020, and with all my courses plotted out, thanks to horrific grades from 2009-2012, I've calculated that my GPA will be about a 3.2c/3.5s with a massive upward trend. (DO sGPA would be higher, about 3.8.) The thing is, I have so many credits that...

Hello, Was just wondering if anyone else applied to the program (I applied to option 1) and is waiting for their decision? In previous threads, they said they received a phone call AND THEN a follow up email? However, I got an email early May (earlier than I expected, I thought there was...

So I'm going to be a sophomore in the fall. Thinking of graduating early. If I do, I was gonna go and do this program. How good is it? Has anyone done it? Did you get into MD schools? Also, how good is it if I get this degree and decide MD isn't for me? Also, if I have a high GPA (above 3.80)...

So, I'm a freshman and looking to graduate early right now. I'll be class of 2019, though I was supposed to be 2020. So, I'm thinking if a post-bacc or a grad degree would be the best course of action? I don't want to apply to med school next year, so that's not an option. I had some...

Hi guys. So currently, I have just finished my junior year of undergrad. My current but yet horrendous stats are cGPA: 2.75 & sGPA: 2.40 Unfortunately, all the pre-req's I have take that are required for PA school, I have received Cs in. I really want to become a PA, but I know how hard and...

So I was accepted into several post baccalaureate programs and I am having a hard time choosing the right one. If anyone was a student in these programs could you please tell me how your experience went and whether or not the program has helped you get into medical school? These are the programs...

I am considering the SSP program from Upenn. Obviously Penn has an incredible reputation but I want to know how well this program helps pre-dentals get into dental school. Does anyone have personal experience or know any success stories? Thank you!

I have searched this forum a lot but it seems I'm learning about a new SMP everyday on here and I am not sure which SMPs are suitable for me. My question is: given my stats and information listed below, what would you recommend? As the title says, I'm a nontraditional student and reinvented...

For anyone who got accepted to the George Washington GCATS program (for any year), how long after your interview were you accepted?

Are there any Postbacs/SMPs (D.O. with good linkage) that would even look at a student with a 2.72cGPA/2.78sGPA with a STRONG upward trend (+3.8 GPA) in the last 70 credit hours and a solid MCAT score (plan on testing in the Fall)? I did so poorly in my early years that even with my academic...

Hi all, I as wondering how competitive masters programs are. I know you have to meet basic graduate standards with good recommendations and so forth. However unlike medical schools they dont publish average gpa and mcat of entering students. Perhaps take a Brown or Georgetown, is it crazy...
