Hi, I am an applicant in the current cycle preparing for my plan B, assuming I have no acceptances. The only red flag/weakness in my application is my 3.5 GPA(Both cum and science) with a slight upward trend. I am currently graduated and working full time. It looks like to address my weakness I should either enroll myself in cc or in a post-bac program. However, the deadline to apply and enroll for a post-bac program for 2018-2019 has already passed. It looks like I will have to enroll in the post-bac program for 2019-2020, and apply to medical school in June 2020. However, I took my MCAT 09/2017, which will be expired for 2020-2021 cycle. Although some post-bac program offers MCAT preparation, most programs don't and are exclusively focusing on academic enrichment. Thus, If I want to be enrolled in the post-bac that exclusively focuses on GPA improvement, I will have to take the MCAT before the program behinds in July 2019.
In your opinion, should I re-start studying for the MCAT and take it before July 2019 and then begin my post-bac, or should I continuing working and enroll in a post-bac that also incorporate MCAT preparation?
