I applied for Columbia's postbacc and I did not get it. They told me that I took too many sciences and did poorly in them. I took chem I, phys. I, Bio I & II, and Anatomy I & II, I took these at a community college so I thought they would not count as strongly and it was in 2002. Obviously, it counted.
Now, I'm stuck at a crossroads, I am moving to NYC because of my spouse's work and I wanted to do a formal program because I need the extra help with resources and structure. I now feel certain that if Columbia said no, then NYU will probably feel the same way. I am truly concerned with making the right decision, I am passionate about medicine but am wondering if the door might be closed. I have a poor academic track record but did improve and there is certainly an upward trend. I have volunteered abroad and worked in many projects with non-profits.
I have considered HES but it would involve being away from my better half. Please feel free to give me your opinions because this is the one place I seem to find answers.
