Are there any decent postbacc programs that don't require academic letters of recommendation? I need to find something soon for the fall as I have not been able to get into an SMP. I would even consider some continuing education undergrad courses or something like that.

I don't know of any offhand, but if all else fails you could just go back to your alma mater at take classes on your own (and rack up a few LORs for the upcoming application cycle).

Thanks, I am considering that option but I feel that my professors are biased against me because of my low uGPA they dont want to write letters for me because they thing I am a slacker.

Have you asked the professors whose classes you did well in?

I think most postbacc and SMPs don't require postbacc-specific LoRs. You can just submit your pre-med packet.

If he did so poorly that his professors won't even write him LORs, I doubt he's got a premed packet.

Ha yes sir you nailed it! I have no chance of getting an amcas with a 2.95. Thats why I am doing this post bacc route to try an repair my GPA.

Even if you don't have med school-specific LoRs, don't worry: Ask your professors for postbacc-specific LoRs. They know (or tell them) that postbacc is for GPA boosting.
Do something instead of waiting.
