My personal experiences throughout years of teaching English abroad has inspired me to pursue a career in health sciences. I am now looking into applying to a strong post-bac program for those who have no or little science. I have been out of school for five years. When I was an undergrad, I did poorly(B,B and C+) in the three basic science classes I was required to take to graduate. I am not sure how the post-bac committee will view these delinquent grades since I still need to count them in the AMCAS.
Otherwise, I have a pretty solid UGPA from a school that is notoriously known to be difficult and competitive. My bad science grades have brought down my overall GPA, but my major GPAs (Classics and English) are close to 4.0. I have an extraordinary ECs including a year of Fullbright scholarship, research abroad experience and volunteer research experience with Doctors without Borders.
I am considering Drexel, Goucher, Bryn Mawr, Mills, UPenn and Bennington post-bac programs. I have noticed that Goucher and Bryn Mawr especially look at test scores that are consistent with academic records since high school. Is anyone out there who got into Goucher or Bryn Mawr with a solid UGPA but average test scores (ACT 28 and SAT 1320)? I studied in an international French high school where I learned English as a teenager. So, my ACT and SAT probably do not accurately reflect my current verbal skills.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
