hello!! first time posting on here. I did a search but nothing really came up so sorry if this information is somewhere I haven't found.
I'm currently a rising junior but after messing around with my degree audit, I realized that if I took out all the pre-med reqs I have left, I can graduate from my university in a year. woo!! buuut I still have a lot of pre-req classes left and a not too hot science GPA (3.2) (yikes, I know, but as a liberal arts major that wasn't sure about medicine until a couple months ago, not too shabby!). There's room for growth and I'd like to improve my GPA overall, so my adviser recommended I look into post-bacc programs for "academic enhancers". I've been researching and they seem interesting but I'm still not sure if it's the right choice for me. I know I have a few options but right now I'm debating between finishing up my degree and finding a post bacc program/ taking my pre-reqs at my home school as a non-degree seeking student, OR go at a snails pace these next two years and graduate with my peers and with all my reqs done. I've found some interesting programs, like PRIME at Case Western Reserve, but I'm not sure if it's worth that giant price tag. I also want to stay away from any masters degree programs, that seems to come up a lot in my searches. Any information about other post-bacc programs or advice helps!
