Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can help me answer these 2 questions. Does doing a post-bac at the school you want to matriculate at in the future give you an advantage? Also, I know that there are many post-bac programs where if you do good in the classes you are guaranteed an interview at the med school. However, are there any post-bac programs that give you interviews for their dental schools, if so, which ones? Thanks.

1) A very very slight advantage, if only because you get the chance to look good at the school. Can't picture it as a make-or-break factor in picking a post-bacc though.

2) No interview guarantees at any schools I know of for dental, but somehow I feel that if you get a 4.0 in BU's SMP, you would get an interview there. 🙂
