Arite, so im new to SDN but have spent countless hours browsing for years now. so heres my story:

i decided to graduate early [this coming spring '08] w/ my major as Art history and Bio minor [i initially started out doing both the bio and AH major but realized i could leave early and do a post bacc program which had more courses and oppurtunities rather than the limited amt of options at my current school!!] on a side note--ive completed all premed requirements

my gpa-- not so great. currently at a 3.1 🙁
[i pretty much worked 2-3 jobs simultaneously and had trouble managing time w/ commuting and all!!]


-1-i haven't taken the mcat [hopefully april!!] as of yet and would like to know if there are any post bacc/ smp which are based on SAT performance so i can get the application process going!! or do u kno of any smp's which only want u to take the mcat before u enroll?? and dont factor it into acceptance??

-2- does anyone know of any post bacc's designed to ENHANCE academic records??? ive been searching like crazy and find that most require the mcat and wont look at ur application till u've taken them!!

😕Thanks😕!!

HES or Penn Special Science may work for you. Neither require the MCAT IIRC.
 
Some sort of informal post bacc is your best bet...but do the math first, and figure out how many classes/hours you would need to take, making only As, to raise your GPA - what would be your goal for your GPA? Pretty hard to move it much north of where you are at now...ultimately you will probably find that you need to enroll in an SMP...
