I checked out this site about postbacc programs that the UC's have. Called Reapplicant and PPEP, http://services.aamc.org/postbac/Vi...ogram&PROG_INST=UC Irvine College of Medicine
It says that you have to be, "economically or educationally" disadvantaged. Does anyone know how strictly they adhere to these rules? Could a person who doesn't fall into those categories apply for the program?

I've contacted a few of those program's directors. The vibe I have gotten is that they are strict.
