UC Berkeley, George Washington GCATS, and Washington University (St. Louis)

[lightatendoftunnel]

I decided to apply to a few post-bacc. programs at the beginning of this year and I have received acceptance from:

UC Berkeley
George Washington GCATs
Washington University St. Louis

I am waiting to hear back from CWRU.

I am unsure on which post-bacc to choose to attend. I really want to improve my science and cumulative GPA so I can be more competitive for MD schools. Im not eligible for the linkages some of these programs have. I've heard that Washington University (St. Louis) has a lot of grade deflation similar to my undergrad school too and Im hoping to avoid that. Any advice?



These are my stats: cGPA 3.45 with a major Public Health and a minor in Biology. I took all my pre-reqs for medical school and I had a strong upward trend in academics after my Freshman year.

My ECs:
- 1 year shadowing a MD
- 1 year working on two public health projects + Honors Practicum
- 1 year officer position + volunteering in Mexico and India for 3 years
- About 300+ hours volunteering in hospitals
- 1 year research
- Worked as a TA and was a resident advisor
- Worked as a tutor

Thank you in advance!

Just got into CWRU this morning! And yes, Case Western does have linkage that I may be eligible for. They don't have hardcore requirements for their linkage like other schools.
