hi 😀

just wondering if anyone knows of any post-bac programs that are for people who have already completed all their science requirements and want to take some upper level bio classes to boost gpa--BUT DO NOT REQUIRE MCAT SCORES TO APPLY (just GRE instead)--- i think this is true of FINCH?? does anyone know any details or any other programs....


my reason for posting is b/c i kinda wanted to get in a post-bac program asap and waiting to take the april mcat and then having to apply will set be another year behind-- make sense?

thank u
 
I am not an expert or anything although I have read that most schools that are post-bacc are for students who have few to no science background <please correct me if I am wrong>. I would look at it more as the building blocks for medical school and the preparation of the MCATs.

I am not sure where you live but if you check this site out may be it could help you:

Finch is not a post-bac program, it is a masters' program. The deadline for application has passed, so either way, you will have to wait until next year.

I wouldn't plan on taking the April MCAT while in a post-bacc or masters' program because of time consraints, but that's just me...
