Hi all,

How much credits do your pre-med post-bacc prerequisites total up to be? Virtual brownie points if you can list the pre-med classes that you took and their corresponding credits.

Thank you so much!

How much credits do your pre-med post-bacc prerequisites total up to be?

The best thing about an informal post-bacc is that it can be as much or as little as you need. I completed about ~30 credits, and I've seen people do more (who needed significant GPA repair) or less (those who just needed to fulfill a pre-req).

Virtual brownie points if you can list the pre-med classes that you took and their corresponding credits.

You should double check with the school directly and MSAR for school-specific pre-req courses, but here's a general outline:

8 hours of Gen Chem (two sequential 3 credit hour courses plus two accompanying 1 credit hour labs)
8 hours of Gen Bio (two sequential 3 credit hour courses plus two accompanying 1 credit hour labs)
8 hours of Physics (two sequential 3 credit hour courses plus two accompanying 1 credit hour labs)
8 hours of Organic Chem (two sequential 3 credit hour courses plus two accompanying 1 credit hour labs)
3 hours of Biochem

*DISCLAIMER* This is a general (re: not comprehensive) list. Many schools may allow you to substitute classes for pre-reqs, not require a lab, or even accept AP credit.

Plus a various assortment of humanities, social science, english, statistics, etc...
