Post-bac?

So, I already have my BA degree in Political Science and English. Do I have to apply to one of these "post-bac" programs to fulfill the prereqs, or could I just sign up at an undergraduate institution to take them?

Either structured or unstructured is fine. Pick a school where you'll succeed, and only you can figure out what that means. You'll find a ton of info in the postbac forum: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=71

I am doing an informal one. Technically I'm a "2nd degree seeking student" here. You don't have to spend a fortune for the classes. The top formal programs are tough to get into, but if you succeed you stand a very strong shot of getting in. I personally rather do well on my own and pay a couple of grand a year tuition over 30k a year or so.

This is a good place to start: http://services.aamc.org/postbac/

Informal post bacs are usually cheaper so you can't go wrong with that. Formal programs cost more because you are usually paying for priority registration.

Good Luck
