@Matthew9Thirtyfive I have heavily weighed the pros and cons of diy vs a formal post bacc -- my decision to pursue a formal post bacc is, for the majority, anchored in the fact that I have never demonstrated academic proficiency in a structured and rigorous undergraduate environment. I think that the pursuit of a formal program might convince future ADCOMs that I possess the academic ability to thrive in a competitive environment. As of now, I am concerned that my academic history does not display the potential for success in a medical school environment.
I ETS in FEB20 after graduation in AUG19. I would have to extend to even find out one cycle of EMDP2 admissions. I have contacted the department and there is no sway on the admissions decision timeline. I have decided to take the path of least time to medical school with my full GI bill untouched at this stage (out-of-pocket undergrad).
@Matthew9Thirtyfive How would you weigh UMich MEDPREP in my case? It is in-state for me and relatively close to where I lived prior to the military. Considering the cost of attendance would be similar to a diy at either UMich or MSU.
