Post Bacc Premed programs.

There is a program in Ohio called CSU-NEOMED post bacc where a person if accepted attends 1.5 or 2 years for premed, while having a reserved seat in the medical school. NO SCIENCE BACKGROUND NEEDED. People don't go because it's too many years and too much money, but I'm for it.

??Are there more like this in USA?????

I want to apply to more programs exactly like this

Very few schools offer guaranteed linkages and a 1.5-2 year postbac is how long it normally takes, +1 for the gap year.

Can you tell which schools offer the guaranteed linkages lime this neomed

You can do a search on here, but Goucher, Bryn Mawr, Hopkins, Temple, Tufts, and Columbia are some of the more popular ones.

Those schools are not like the one at northeast Ohio medical post bacc program.


They seem more like an acceptance but they don't reserve seats like in this program

What's the difference between reserve seats and acceptance??

I mean that some post bacc programs give acceptance to the post bacc but not reserved seats to the medical school.

Very few programs have direct linkage from post-bacc to MD and even traditional undergrad linkages are falling by the wayside. Most of the time, these programs have rigorous requirements for direct admission that the applicant would be competitive at a majority of medical schools outside of the linkage. You can't "game" the system by only applying to these programs.

Also, the reason NEOMED has this programs is that it's a low ranking medical school and wants to attract applicants. You're better off going to a strong Post-bac, working hard, crushing the MCAT and going through the cycle like everyone else.
