Hey everyone! I'm currently a senior in college who is looking to apply to a postbacc program for next year. The only problem is, I'm not entirely sure which schools and programs are realistic for me to apply to. Maybe some of you could give me some insight?
1. I will be graduating from a top-10 university with ~2.8-2.9 GPA. The GPA is on the low side (although a B- from here isn't too shabby) b/c I attempted to be pre-med my first 1.5 years and had a really rough time. My undergrad institution is REALLY big on weeding people out.
2. I'm not entirely sure what programs I'm eligible for b/c for most, I've taken too many science classes {1 yr of general chem, and 1 semester of organic chem that I didn't pass : ( } to have "no science background" and too few classes to be a career-changer or apply to a SMP.
3. I'd really like a program that's very structured and provides a lot of guidance b/c I feel that that's what was lacking from my undergrad pre-med experience
On the positive side, I do have experience with internships in the health field and plenty of volunteering, and I've had an upward trend in grades over the last 2 years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
