Does anyone know what the cheapest post bac there is out there? I know there are a couple in CA but you have to be a california resident.

Basically, I am looking for a cheap post bac where you are offered an interview if you maintain a certain GPA and Mcat score. I have searched multiple forums but can't find cheap post bacs! Thanks

Look at each schools profile in the AACOM CIB. If the DO school offers a post-bac it will be listed under "preparatory programs".

The few that I looked into were all the same costs as the tuition at the school. I decided to do my own at the state university and saved a bundle.

I did this too. I saved a bunch of money and got into several DO programs, so I was very happy with my decision.

LECOM-Erie has a post-bacc program. Not sure of the cost. If you do well, they offer you a spot in the class. Erie is super cheap to live there

Hi Rob C,

how many hours of DO did you shadowing? I am in the process of doing this. I am going to be shadowing a DO in a clinic.

Also do you think I should shadow DO's in more higher up specialties like neurology and surgery?

What about DO's who are very traditional and does OMM?

What were some of the problems the DO schools had with CC courses?

Just a hunch, but they probably thought he was trying to take the easy way out.

I know the one here at DCOM is fairly reasonable as compared to most SMPs. From my perspective...I went the route of just pursuing a master's in biology, one year program, at my in state school. Did the trick for me by boosting my app with more upper level science courses...that and quite a bit more volunteering. Good luck!

I made use of my local community college and took OChem at the University. Some DO schools had a problem with the community college courses. Neverthless, I did well on the MCAT and got into a good program.

I should also mention that I made a point to shadow a DO and do some volunteering. I think this was just as important as my coursework.

Im doing the same thing. What schools had a problem with the CC courses? I plan on taking a few upper level bio courses at a university as well.

Study hard and you'll be fine.
