Hey there,
At each of these programs, you're going to have to answer the question, "Why medicine? Why now?" The more data you have to back your answer, the more convincing you'll be. Have you done any medicine-related work or volunteering?
Your stats are certainly good enough for Bryn Mawr. It is not necessary to have a lot of medical experience, but you will be expected to show in one way or another a passion for medicine and to sincerely convey why you want to pursue medicine now.
Hi everyone,
About to submit to Bryn Mawr & NYU (I'd like to be in the NYC area if possible, though I know this program is extremely expensive). I've read about Hopkins & Goucher (may apply, but am not a huge fan of Baltimore), but was wondering what other programs are on the same 'level' as these. I've looked a little at UVA's, UPenn's, Columbia, etc, but are how do these compare? I'd appreciate any insight or other programs I should look into.
Thanks!
There is a giant UPenn thread to read and Columbia has been discussed a fair amount too.Hi everyone,

Hallo there!
You should check out Columbia's Postbac program. It's the oldest of its kind and has a great reputation for getting people where they want to go in the healthcare field. The courses are challenging but you'll be extremely well prepared for the MCAT and medical school. Columbia also has fantastic linkage programs to medical schools in the area if you're interested in also attending medical school in NYC. I'm a tour guide for the program as well as a 2nd year so feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
Good luck!
