I graduated from a top liberal arts college a year ago with a major in bio and minors in chemistry and sociology. My GPA was 3.5 and science GPA was a little lower. I got a 27 (9,9,9) on the MCAT 2 years ago and retook it this past April. I have a lot of volunteer experience, clinical experience and am currently doing research at a major cancer hospital. I am planning to apply to med schools a year from now. I'm wondering if it is necessary to take one of those post-bac pre-med programs (such as the one at Georgetown) to boost my science GPA. I would take only the advanced bio courses since I have already successfully completed the pre-med required courses. What do you think? Is it worth the time, effort, and money?? Or should I just keep working in a research/clinical environment for the next two years?
