So I'm new to this thread thing so bear with me ! I'm currently finishing up my undergrad at a UC and decided that I want to apply to a career changer post bacc program, preferably a formal one with linkages like Bryn Mawr, Temple, UPenn, Goucher etc. I took a few science class at my first university but was totally unfocused and ended up with a 2.9 while was there. I then transferred to a school back in California to save some money and now when I graduate I'll have a 3.6/3.7gpa here as an anthro major (B.S.). I also took a few summer courses at two different junior colleges and got a 3.85 and a 4.0 at those institutions. I've had a job since I was 18, been volunteering at in the ICU department(will be around 3-4months by the time I apply)and have an internship at another hospital where I'm basically a CNA with over 200 hours of volunteer time. I got a 25 on the ACT( back in 09) and I'm wondering if I should take the GRE to help my chances or just stick with the 25 I got? Maybe I'd have better chances at a school like San Francisco State that doesnt have linkage and is obviously cheaper? I'm looking to start applying in september for next summer/fall! Its all so stressful all! thanks for your replies in advance!

You might not be eligible to apply to those programs, depending on what science courses you took.

Did you end up applying to any of the programs? I am curious as well about taking the GRE for a post-bacc program and I have only taken three of the science prereq's -Bio 1, 2 and Chem 1.
