Hello all. First posthere. I got some great advice fromDrMidlife on Virginia post-baccs. Idlike to ask for suggestions on post-baccs Id have a CHANCE at getting in with mylow stats in any state. Ive gonethrough the databases and see about 20 Im not screened out for so Id likeopinions from those who have gone through it before and know more than thewebsites say about the reality of my situation.
Im looking for a program with a strong linkage ifsuccessful and hopefully no glide year. Tobe upfront, Id really like to go to USUHS, EVMS, or ETSU eventually, but amopen to others including VCOM which I just started looking at and would applyVERY broadly. If there are any programsyou think those schools would appreciate, even if it is not their own or theirstate, that would be great too. Droppingout of the army to just do undergrad courses is not really an option for meright now. I would get out for a good(hopefully linked) post-bacc. Thanks forany advice you can give.
PS I realize how low my stats are. Im just looking for some support and ideas,not a reality check or sarcasm when I already know my chances are uphill.
