Hello all, I'm looking for suggestions on where I should apply in order to get a post-bacc degree. The major issue? My GPA...a very non-impressive 2.67. Liberal arts major, hard science minor. I was originally majoring in an engineering field and subsequently changed after realizing that, despite cruising through high school, I would need to learn how to study and become a better student. I did that in an "easy" major -- although probably the hardest among the non-quantitative fields. Anyway, I know this makes me an auto-reject at most, if not all, respected programs.

I apologize for the rushed post. I need to be out the door soon...any advice you can offer would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

I would honestly build my grades by taking a year at a community college. If you can ACE General Biology and General Chem there, your chances at a post-bacc will increase. As of now, it depends where you apply. Most places will probably think you're never going to be competitive enough for medical school. Other places just need the money. I hear Notre Dame De Namur University takes anyone that applies.

Program? As in SMP??

I was under the impression that you could take classes post bachelor no problem.

Some people go into structured programs.
