I have a question regarding post bacs. Are there any programs that allow you to transfer your post bac credits towards a medical school that you have been accepted to? Thank you.
any post bac programs transfer credit to med school?

I have never heard specifically of that. However, I have heard that some med schools will allow you to test out of Histology if you earned a good grade.

There are some SMP programs that transfer credit to their respective medical schools if you matriculate there. One example is Rosalind Franklin's MS in Applied Physiology. If you get accepted for the following year, you matriculate as an MS1A--a first year medical student with advanced standing. If I remember correctly, medical coursework completed in BU's MA in Medical Sciences program also transfers over. I'm sure there are a few others.
Loma Linda has a small postbac certificate program that includes medical coursework, but does not transfer the credit to the med school if you matriculate there.
In the past I've heard of students testing out of medical coursework at some medical schools, but I don't believe it's very common anymore. I wouldn't expect medical coursework from one postbac program to transfer into another medical school, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

What's up sunnyjohn? =)
I've been around. Things are much more hectic for me now, so I haven't posted as frequently as I used to. Of course, I still make it a point to check in multiple times per day.
I did not take the August MCAT*, but best wishes to everyone who recently received their scores!
*This also means that medanthgirl has beaten me by default for the originally planned "MCAT duel." 😛
