Hi everyone,
I was hoping maybe some people who attended the programs or are familiar with it can answer my question.
IN general, are such programs for non-trad students (older, real life experience, perhaps weak GPA), or are they mostly for graduates who did not perform well but are pretty much right out of undergrad? Any advise would be great.

Yes. Both. And everything in between. Full spectrum. Same as in med school: the dominant demographic is the 23-24 year old with a 3.6/32, and you can wander down either side of the bell curve from there.

You'll find notes from students of all 3 of these programs in this forum.

Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your response.
If you have attended either of these programs please let me know. Just have some questions abou non-trad students and best way to approach post bac/SMP applications and if certain schools are more open to such applicants. Thanks in advance.

I am current in BU mams. Most of the student are around my age, 23. I absolutely love it here. The school and faculty are amazing. It is a lot of hard work but it is worth it. I entered the program with a 32 O mcat and a 3.55 GPA
