Hi, I just graduated and am applying for this cycle. My overall Gpa is a 3.2 and science is a 2.8. I'm retaking some of my pre reqs to raise my science gpa. I know that with that current s.gpa i'm not competitive. I was pondering on what to do if I do not get accepted this year. I guess my question is do any of you know where i can find post bac programs with linkage to medical school? (I'm not sure if I'm using "linkage" correctly I want a program that will allow you into the medical school if you maintain a certain gpa while enrolled) I know LECOM has one but am having a hard time finding others.

Only a few post baccs have direct matriculation agreements but most have some sort of "maintain this GPA and get an interview". Bryn Mawr, JHU, UPenn, UVM, Goucher and Temple are a few of the post baccs with such matriculation/interview agreements. Keep in mind most post baccs are also geared towards career changers who haven't taken many if any science courses rather than retaking sciences. If I were in your position I would first and foremost consider retaking your worst science courses to bump the sGPA or try an SMP to get some upper level science courses and nail them to pad your GPA and show you can handle the work.
