Congratulations on your acceptance! I was also just accepted to the Tufts Post-bac program for 2012 and am scheduled to start in May, though I am going to see if I can defer for a year to get more experience and to save up some money working at a local hospital where I just accepted a position to work as an Applications Analyst - it's an expensive program, and I would definitely like the financial backing to survive the schooling while not having to work very many hours. If that is not possible, I'm going straight in and hoping for the best financially - this is not an opportunity that I am going to miss. The acceptance rates to the program itself each application period are 20%-30%, with the prerequisite of 3.2 GPA during undergraduate, so it is a competitive program - you were accepted because they believe you will have success in the program.
The program has linkages with two naturopathy/osteopathy schools, and has about a 90% acceptance rate for graduates in the areas of medical school, physician assistant programs, nurse practitioner programs, dental, and veterinary school. I am also having trouble finding information, but am hoping that there are replies to this thread that will be helpful to both of us.
I know the advising is incredible, and that also there is access to the prestigious university assets, I read a thread about students organizing trips to Haiti and MIssissippi for experience volunteering with patient care, funded largely by the university itself. Any experience like this bolsters applications enormously, I am unsure of how accessible resources such as this are at other Post-Bacc programs. I admittedly only applied to this one, largely because I wanted something structured with high acceptance rates, and I do not want to move out of the Boston area, at least not at this point for Post-Bacc studies.
Not sure if this helps, hopefully we will get other replies to this thread.
Cheers!
