Any More of These?

[postbaccer82]

Hello Everyone,

I am currently trying to find a postbac program that is for someone who (1) is not a minority, (2) has completed all the science prereqs (aka not a career changer), and (3) offers some type of linkage with a medical school.

I currently found VCOM's postbac, which I will be applying to. I would like to find a few more similar programs. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Thanks for your reply mate! Gtown is for career changers though... Where are you applying to med school?

Goro is not applying to medical schools, he is an adcom member at a DO school.

 

[postbaccer82]

Does anybody have more info about LECOM's postbac? All their links on Google seem to be broken....

 

[postbaccer82]

Like what are the acceptance rate for LECOM's postbac? How about for a 3.6GPA 27MCAT guy?

Don't tell me what to do, ever.

Don't tell me what to do.

I'm not sure if you meant this in earnest or sarcastically, but LizzyM is an adcom member at a top MD school. She was giving you her best advice.

 

[postbaccer82]

Nobody tells me what to do, sorry. Could someone just post a list of postbacs that satisfy my requirements (non-minority, non-career changers, etc.). Thanks!

I've been scrambling to make this list for you the second you posted that, but in the meantime would you like some cucumber water?

Good lord... and people like this have a chance at becoming doctors...
Are you going to cut the nurses with your scalpel when they don't fetch what you need quickly enough? You don't seem like a very nice person.

@LizzyM postbaccer82

My trust fund is probably bigger than your house, just fyi. But back on track, does anybody know the TOP FIVE programs most similar to VCOM's?

Yes, exactly. Medicine is hierarchical, and to continue your analogy, that nurse would be putting the patient in danger and needs to be told how to do her job correctly by a doctor, and his attitude is important to doing that. /thread

Sorry, I've just added you to my ignore list.

Manners > meanness.
I have met plenty of nice doctors, and plenty of doctors who are straight up what-is-stuck-up-your-ass-today doctors, and guess who EVERYONE (patients and staff included) like more? And are willing to help out more? THE NICE PERSON! PEOPLE LIKE NICE (competent) PEOPLE!

A ****ty attitude won't get you very far in life, and if it happens to, well, you'll be a miserable old lonely bastard and die alone in your recliner one day....


**Mods please excuse my French, just defending the turf

Just a troll trying to bait people, don't spend too much energy responding, the hammer approaches.

Thanks @LizzyM

Back on track, what are the top five best of these programs?

 

[postbaccer82]

Are there any that lead to an MD school acceptance if a certain GPA in the program is maintained?

Maybe you could take the wonderful list Goro gave you and the wonderful link LizzyM gave you and do your own searching.

You guys realize this is a troll right?

 

[Goro]

Loose cannon, rather than an outright troll.

I get very nervous around people who knee-jerk the 'don't tell me what to do! !" when you give then advice. Control issues and all that.

The sound of the juicy hammer slamming against a pesky loose cannon.

It will be an awesome day when the Lounge (and specialty forums) crashes the party at Preallo

that ban was too quick. i would have enjoyed watching that play out more.

Yeah, no, not really. Ever wonder what happens when you try to pull a "sick trolling" on an adcom? Ask that guy.

I think it was that same troll who kept saying "don't tell me what to do" in the Creationist vs. Evolution thread a couple of days ago.
