Harvard Post-Bac and Finances

[whamthankyoumam]

Hey everyone.

Is it true that if you find work at Harvard (say, at the hospital or something), while concurrently completing the post-bac requirements, the post-bac classes' tuition reduces significantly? I was told it decreases to something like $50 per class. Also, does the financial aid that Harvard provides cover things like housing and expenses? Finally, what's Harvard's placement rate into medical school? I'd also appreciate any other additional comments and insight. I'm new to the whole process and would appreciate some direction as well.

Yes, however these jobs are extremely competative and hard to find if you are looking for a specific position.

Also, does the financial aid that Harvard provides cover things like housing and expenses?

Doubt it.

Finally, what's Harvard's placement rate into medical school?

They advertise 80% of those who attain sponsorship. Sponsorship, etc. is outlined on their website.

I'd also appreciate any other additional comments and insight. I'm new to the whole process and would appreciate some direction as well.

Refer to the official 2006 and 2007 threads.
