I got the "positive review" call, but my status still says "incomplete". I'm starting to freak out. Anyone else in the same boat?
Hey guys! I'm going to make a facebook group, but I need to add someone in order to create the group. Would someone be down to help me in making the fb group?
does anyone know if it's possible to only attend the 5 week summer academy and not the actual program throughout the year?
Congrats to all that have been accepted!
I just completed the program this year. This program has exceeded my expectations. I thought it was just some informal postbac where you take classes, but they actually had a LOT of resources for me. If anyone has any questions at all, let me know.
awesome, congratulations on finishing the program! does the program only last a year or does that depend on what you need? As far as housing, how many people do we room with?

How competitive is it to get into the program? I'd ideally love to attend the program in fall 2014 but I'm worried my stats might not be high enough. My overall GPA is a 3.4 and my science GPA is a 3.1. I graduated from a top 25 university, but not sure if that holds any weight at all. I do have very good letters of recommendation. Do you also have to be an URM to attend? Thanks guys!
Hi all! Anyone applying for fall 2014 admission?
To be sent from recommenders.
hey thanks a lot! I really appreciate it I'm not PPOHA so I can't do the mcat prep... oh well!
In your opinion is the csula postbac more for dental school applicants? I'm shooting for med school (allo) and the primary reason I'm looking at this program is the price and proximity to my home haha.
I just got a call to offer me a position in the PPOHA program! Can anyone who is/was in the program offer any good advice with regards to what to expect, classes to take, or anything else you feel would be helpful? Thanks!
Thanks for all the info!Stipend comes in four parts. End of each quarter starting summer. Ur required to go to all of seminar and do symposium. You'll randomly see you postbacc colleagues on campus so you shouldn't make enemies. Usually, postbacc sets the curve so competition will be friendly since they're ur friends. Apply to linkage, otherwise u might regret.
Thanks for all the info!
Hello! I recently got accepted into this post-bacc program. I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with me. I'm still on the fence about whether or not to accept the admissions offer. What resources do they have to students in the program (ie. faculty mentoring, lab experiences, etc). Thank you!
What do you mean informal? can you please fill me in? it seems like much changed compared to 2 years agoI just got a call about a positive review today and am hoping to get more information on the program as well. I understand the program is "informal" and was wondering how it differs from a "formal" pre-health postbacc, such as the one offered at csueb.
Thanks!!
I applied to Option 1: the record enhancer. Thank you for your insight! I really appreciate it. Do you have any advice for me moving forward?Did u get into option 1 or 2? When I was doing post bacc at csula, the mock interviews and mock mmi helped me tremendously during the application cycle. They also had Princeton review MCAT prep during the summer with stipend, but that may have changed. The professors and mentors are helpful as long as you are willing. The classes were challenging but 4.0 is doable since ur competitors will be undergrads (post baccs usually sets the curve). I'm not sure about research. They also have workshops really often, almost once per month. It's at those workshops where you can build networks with the speaker to help your future.
Congrats on your new continuing journey. The classes in csula aren't going to be a walk in the park. Be prepared to work hard. Aim for 4.0 even if it sounds like fairy tail. Animal physio was tough but worth taking because it's good preview to med school!I applied to Option 1: the record enhancer. Thank you for your insight! I really appreciate it.
