I'm just starting to research postbacs myself, but as far as I know here are your options near Houston, Texas for completing science prereqs, specifically, since that's the boat I'm in.

1. UH - no formal postbac program, take classes as a postbac
2. Lamar - formal premed postbac, a premed advisor from another school did not recommend
3. Univ North Texas - formal premed postbac, same premed advisor did not recommend
4. UT Austin Extension: no formal program, take classes at night, inexpensive, solid option
5. Rice Class III Continuing Studies: no formal program, probably most rigorous science classes, very expensive
6. Houston Baptist University: no idea
7. Texas A&M: no idea

I've been researching for 2 months - that's what I've found. Please let me know what you find.

Just curious, do you remember what your premed advisor said about the UNT postbac? I applied to the SMP at UNT HSC (I'm assuming that's what you're talking about) and I'd really like to hear any info he/she might have said. Thanks!

THANK YOU for the info. I wonder if I can take the same classes (in the postbac program) as I did for my BS?
