If you look in their brochure (it's a PDF on their website) it says 85% are accepted to either medical school or graduate school...which may or may not help you in your decision!

On the application, when they ask you to list the science courses you've taken with grades, should classes like Psychology be included, or do they just want the classic BCPM science courses? (Bio, Physics, Orgo, Chem....)

i know ive heard that the basic science courses in the penn post-bac program are challenging/set at a low curve. i was wondering about the other upper level science classes that special science students take. are these classes as difficult to do well in, and do they also have a low curve? thanks!!
