And now I'm leaking this to you. According to her, Brandeis is in the midst of implementing a new "type" of Post-Bacc program for individuals that only need "certain" classes for a pre-med for a fast track to medical school. She told me more information would be available online (website, it's not an online program) in August.

Upon speaking with me further; since I have both my BS and MS... I'd be eligible to take the O Chem I and II + labs.. as well as a few advanced science courses w/ EITHER a research option or a study abroad option (I believe) to satisfy the requirements needed to earn the degree/cert.

It's too bad this begins NEXT year... she told me applications will probably be due on or around Oct. 1 and I've already applied for the HEP HCP.

Would be a great option for others out there like me!!!

Honestly, I know what I'm in for... and I'd wait, but I'm 26... I'd like to enroll into Med School at the latest 30 y/o. I'm on a drastic change from PhD in Exercise Physiology/Energy Metabolism to a career in medicine with a subpar GPA due to family circumstances that were out of my control. (I'm sure you all know my story by now b/c I've been whining about it enough.)

thanks to those of you who were supportive and keep an eye out for this program!!

G'luck!
