What does everybody think of post-bac premed programs? Can they adequately prepare a student for med school?
I graduated from undergrad with a non-science degree, and I've decided that I really want to follow my instincts and go into pathology. My undergrad GPA was pretty good (3.79) and all of the post-bac classes (all sciences) I've taken have gone very well and I have a 4.0. I am currently enrolled in a post-bac premed program which only provides me with the most basic requirements to apply to med school....but I can choose to stay another year or so to take more classes. Additionally, I have been working full time doing research with gastroenteric diseases (almost 1 year).
My major concern is that I won't have a shot at getting into any really reputable schools because I don't have a full 4 year undergrad degree in premed.
Any thoughts or advice? Anybody else out there that did a post-bac premed program?
