Trying to make a decision between the these two Philly postbac programs. Does anyone have any insight on either of them? Is one better than the other or are they pretty much equal?

Both are awesome. Temple has guaranteed linkage (you're "conditionally accepted" to the medical school if you get in the program and finish it without being terribad), so that's a leg up. I'm not sure how Jefferson's linkage works.
You're getting Temple's post-bac programs confused- ACMS is the program with the conditional acceptance. BCHS, while there is a linkage, is not a guaranteed acceptance. You need to meet certain GPA/MCAT requirements to be given an interview, but there is the possibility of being rejected post-interview.

Dang, you're right. I thought OP was referring to the BCMS program (same program as ACMS but for folks who haven't taken prereqs). I didn't realize the synonyms were so similar. For BCMS there is guaranteed linkage, provide you meet the GPA/MCAT requirements. Temple needs to get better at naming their programs to decrease confusion haha.You're getting Temple's post-bac programs confused- ACMS is the program with the conditional acceptance.
