This might be a horrible question but I was wondering if you have to take a gap year after you complete a post bacc program. I was also wondering what was the best post baccs to get into. I only have a 3.3 because of a poor freshman year. I want to have a good backup plan just Incase I don’t get into a school the first round which is very possible. Because of the application cycle it would seem like you would complete your post bacc then apply in the next cycle which means you would get in the year after that.

The only reason you'd need to take a gap year is if you wait to finish the program and apply once you're done. There are so many programs out there; some recommend you apply during the program (for many different reasons,) while others recommend waiting after. And there are others out there that take 2 years to complete, where you apply during an "easier" 2nd year.

One applies to med school when they have the best possible app.
