Post-Bac admission chances

I'm just looking to see how I stand in regards to gaining admission into any of the programs that I'm applying to this week: Goucher, Georgetown, JHU, Temple, NYU

I am a senior at UMD with majoring in Finance, my gpa is 3.6, and my Sgpa is a 3.6-3.7 (only taken bio1 and calc 1). I am graduating this May, and have an internship with Merrill Lynch currently, which I can extend into a full time position if I really wanted to (not interested). I do have extensive volunteer experience (not health related), and a decent number of hours in a health related setting from high school when I used to volunteer every week. My family hails from a health related background, so I do have their support etc... Overall, my letter of recommendations should be pretty good: ranging from some of my professors to past internship employers (ML and a congressman). I know its pretty late in the game, and that the deadlines are march 1st. Considering that these programs feature rolling admissions, is there any chance for me to get into any of them?

Not having any recent health related ECs is going to hurt admission chances. Hailing from a health related background often isn't convincing enough for admissions personnel.

That said, submit your application and hope for the best. As long as they say they're still accepting applications, you've got nothing to lose.

Oh, and go Terps! Class of '08 (Finance/Information Systems) here.

I'd add BM too, it's a bit late for applying though.

I submitted my applications and mailed in the money today for a few, so I guess we will see. Since my family is in the field, I do have some shadowing positions lined up and some volunteer work as well. Both of which I plan on mentioning assuming I get an interview. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed to even get that!

The deadline for BM passed before I was even aware of these programs.
