Hi there!

I am trying to decide on a post-bacc program and wanted some opinions.

I am currently an AmeriCorps doing a term of service in Seattle (I finish in July). I graduated last May (in three years with a 3.6 GPA and majored in political science and minored in humanitarian studies). I took bio and calc already and have interned and done research at top hospitals in NYC. I went to school on the east coast, but I love Seattle and ideally would like to go to UW School of Medicine.

I have been looking at the Mills, Scripps and Seattle U programs. I also have family in Pennsylvania, so I would consider going back for school (to Bryn Mawr).

My question is: is it worth it to go to a more well-known program and a school with linkages? Or will a program like Seattle U's be just as competitive?

Any opinions on the different programs would also be appreciated!

Thanks!
