I should have included this with my last post about Penn State. But, any comments about LaSalle's post-bac program? -- LM

I too would like to know if anyone has more information about this, since I'm in Philly and wouldn't mind sticking around here.
I did make a preliminary inquiry into LaSalle's program; the director wrote back and said that the program is very small, but in the past few years all of their students have been admitted to "health professions" schools. I'm always wary when an explicit mention of medical school is conspicuously absent. "Health professions" could mean nursing, PA, chiropractic, or just about anything. I've been kind of suspicious of LaSalle's program since then.

I'm in Philly, and I looked into LaSalle as well... I didn't get the impression that they were very inviting of post-bacs. Other programs in Philly (Penn, Temple) are cheaper, more prestigious, want post-bacs, and have medical schools (in my case, dental schools) attached to them. Based on this, I felt LaSalle was a poor value.
Thanks for the replies! 🙂
