Alternative choices for post-bacc?

Hi! I'm a student in Virginia and was wondering this:

Would it be just as good to take Graduate level course at UVA or other VA schools (Mary Washington because its close to home) instead of an official post-bacc program (Like GMU and VCU) during my gap year?
I'm asking because taking additional courses would be cheaper compared to an official post-bacc program.

Do you know anyone who took additional grad courses instead?

1: call/email Dr. Healy at VCU and make an appt with him and ask him this question. Whatever he tells you, do it.
2: I would do my post-bac or whatever at VCU. Since your goal is to get into VCU, you can get to know the deans and dental students while you are at VCU.
