Does anyone know the post-bacc program in Hunter College is formal or informal( They are not picking up phone calls during spring break)? If I can not get into the formal program, what should I do with the informal program? 😕

if i'm not mistaken, formal post-bac programs refer to the programs most people think of when you mention doing post-bac work. informal programs refer to individuals taking undergrad level classes as a non-matriculant in order to boost their undergraduate gpa, without applying to (or being admitted to) any structured post-bac "program."

correct me if i'm wrong.

which, to answer your question, should make most of the programs on the aamc site formal post-bacs.

If I can't get into the formal program, I should do it informally. Should I file graduation anyway or just retake classes(c or below) and take some advance courses. 🙁

i have a low gpa for my upgrad (2.5x) as well. What i'm planning on doing is go to school for another two years to obtain a science degree (the one i have now is history). Thus, boasting my ugrad to around 3.0 but this isn't enough. I'm going to apply to a one-year masters program and hopefully by then i'll be competative enough to apply to med school. By the time i apply to med school, it will be in at least four years. This is going to be an uphill climb for us.

good luck
