Hullo, everyone. I wanted to ask for some advice, particularly those situated in California.
I'm approaching my senior year in college as a pre-med student with all my classes in check and a minor in nutrition. I've got a ton of internships and such under my belt: a clinical research internship in the ER, another in the neuroimmunology department, a regular internship in two transplant clinics, an internship for my nutrition minor, and some other fun ones that aren't super important (like being on the school committee for various things). I work at the campus police department, and am currently planning on being published twice this year: one for a biochemical protein folding paper and another for an independent project to the undergrad research journal. Bad news is, I'm looking at a 3.1 GPA.
I know that lots of schools would look at my other extracurriculars, but I want to feel comfortable applying for schools, 'cos shooting unlikely apps is costly. I'm pretty sure I want to go to a post-bacc program, especially the ones with linkage agreements.
I'd like to go to a program in Cali that people have had good experiences with, made it into med school, and wasn't super costly.
Does anyone have any particular recommendations for post-bacc programs with linkage agreements with high rates? How can I make myself a better candidate for applying to post-baccs? (I haven't taken the MCAT yet). Are there any websites with good ways of tabulating the characteristics of my options?
Thanks so much in advance!
