Congratulations everyone!
I was just wondering what this Harvard Extension School is all about. Do you get a degree or is it a certificate granting program? Besides the Harvard name, I don't know what is so special with this program. I highly doubt Harvard SOM will accept anyone who has to take a postbac to raise their grades for medical school matriculation (even if they did attend the Harvard Extension School). I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just curious. So far I am set on going to GT SMP because I feel it is the best program out there.

omniatlas said:Hey Bostonites
I will be moving up to the Cambridge area next week; I'm currently subletting but am looking for housing post-Aug1st; anyone looking for roommates?
I will also be taking classes at Harv-ext (O-Chem fun, yah); working at a Harvard affiliated hospital is a smart idea; their TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) can reimburse you and you will basically be taking classes for free.
Anyone wanna do a get together? I'm looking to meet some new and interesting people.
Cheers
scooter31 said:Fantastic idea. All of this talk in other threads about get togethers and SDNers you've met, why not? A Boston/HES/SDN shindig. Maybe once we can get a consensus of who's here, when other's will be here, we can put a plan into action. Who's in?
omniatlas said:I suggest we do a little bar-get together, maybe at John Harvard to start the year.
To our success!
MCole said:I'm in!!!
A Harp sounds great right now-off I go!
OpenIntro said:Just curious....to all of you attending the Harvard Extension School this summer, what are your backgrounds? Why are you attending? GPA? Pre-Reqs?
Have any of you taken the MCAT and/or applied to Medical School yet?
Curious because I have just found out about this program and am interested but trying to figure out if moving from Texas to Boston is worth it for this program

Curious Tom said:Harvard Extension Postbac program is designed for the people like me who have non-science bachelor's degrees (me: philosophy) and had not taken any required sciences before.
scooter31 said:Open-
The thrust of the certificate program is for career changers to get all of their pre-reqs satisfied. If you have your science courses pretty much locked up (like myself, and you as well by the looks of it), you have the option to do courses a la carte, outside of the realm of the official program. You are also privvy to their LOR service, but no sponsorship, etc is available.
Nice post by the way Curious Tom! Glad to see more SoCal'ers around these parts (Irvine myself)

Yah, did you end up getting a job at BWH or CHB? I think they don't give out positions to folks who aren't alrady in boston. lemme know how that goes.
cheers

*edit* forgot to ask, hows the weather up there? is it tolerable??
chasmo said:HES-ers,
I thought the extension school does not have summer classes...Is that true?
When do fall classes start?
Is it difficult to enroll in classes or do they have virtually unlimited seats available? If difficult, when does one need to enroll to feel comfortable about being able to get in?
Thanks a lot,
chasmo
starkid said:Does anyone know when the deadline to apply for Fall 2004 admission is? Also, is this program only for those who have not completed any of their prereqs? I have completed Physics I,II, Calc I,II, English I,II, and Chem I,II. I need to complete Bio I,II and OChem I,II. Have I completed too much to apply to the program? Sorry if this was covered already. Thanks.
scooter31 said:Dunno when the dealine is, but I can help you with your other query.
You can take the classes a la carte w/o being officially in the certificate program.
