Hi all, I'm in my last semester of a psychology major and am looking for insight as to whether I should do a DIY or formal postbacc. I took a first semester of bio and chem already my freshman year. My cGPA is a 3.61 (I failed chem 1 and math freshman year, retook and got B and A- so I'm not sure what my AMCAS gpa is). I got in to 4 postbacc programs and was about to accept an offer at GWU's program. However I need help evaluating if its worth it.
- cost is not a big problem, I won't have to take out loans
- based in TX so I would have to move
- not interested in linkage
- want to have options for med schools and may want to go to NY, somewhere in the northeast or stay in TX
- won't have to work during the program
It will take me the same amount of time to complete. I would probably do a DIY at UT Austin. Would a formal program increase my chances of getting in? I would like to have the structure/advising of a formal program, but is it worth the cost? Is GWU's program any good? Thanks!
