Let’s start a thread for PostBacc career changer programs.

This thread is to serve three purposes:

1. Ask questions regarding specific career-changer programs and applications.

2. Post interviews and acceptances/denials. Please try to include your transcripts/test scores/background to help others assess how they would stand.

3. Establish a career changer network within SDN to support each other through the process.

If we need to add more purposes let me know and I’ll edit the main posting.

I received interview invites from Bryn Mawr and Goucher. I am nervous to hear back about the interviews. Has anyone received an acceptance?

I was straight up denied by Goucher after a few days lmao. That one was a long shot anyway. Just had my acceptance to UVM and my interview with UVA went really well. I should hear back from UVA by the end of this week (I hope).

Just got my UVA acceptance. The hardest part is done for me - Now I just need to decide.

I'm not applying to medical school right now, but I am a career changer and am trying to find a structured program (for financial aid purposes) to "repair" my poor performance in my cumulative GPA and average GPA in science (barely over 3.0). I know it doesn't replace my GPAs, but I would like to show that I can take and succeed in challenging science courses.
I made a post very recently titled "Would any of these certificates work?".
Will someone take a look and help me choose/not choose one of these certificates? Thank you

We are all applying to career changer post bacs and have not taken the prereqs for med school so might not be the best people to advise you on grade enhancer post bacs

Oops...Sorry about that. Thank you.

I'm not sure about how long it took for those two, but it was about a week for me between interview and decision for UVA.
