What are the differences between post bacc program and SMP?
I have taken science classes in the past with not so good grades. Need to take classes to boost up my grades. However, I found many of post bacc program is for people who never took pre med classes before. Please help.
Thanks a bunch.

*most* postbacs are for students who have not completed/done their prerequisites, which includes bio+lab, organic chem+lab, physics+lab, chemistry+lab, and maybe a semester of math. SMP are usually for students who have a "gap" year between graduation and matriculating into medical school, for students who want to make their application more competitive because their grades were low or did not get accepted the first time around. (read my sticky thread at the top for a more comprehensive explanation of what an SMP is). Sounds like you need an SMP, read my sticky above, it has everything you need to know.
