Hello,

I am trying to find information on the HCP and admissions criteria. Do they accept everyone who applies but then deny the sponsorship letter to some? I have ~3.2 sGPA and 30 MCAT, but there are a few classes I would like to take. Would I be a competitive candidate for admission and/or sponsorship?

Sponsorship, at a bare minimum, requires 20+ credits, so unless you plan on taking 5 classes, you may want to consider other options.

What is your cGPA? Usually if you're between a 3.0 and a 3.2 they'll required 24 credits of coursework to be eligible for sponsorship.

Your best bet -> email Dr. Fixsen. You can get his contact information via google or the Harvard Extension website.

I'm assuming since you've already taken the MCAT, that you've taken most or all of the core premed classes and then some? Which might make you ineligible for sponsorship? You are ineligible for the "diploma," best thing you can do is what johnny says and e-mail Fixsen.
