Undergrad post-bacc v. Grad post-bacc

[mermaidbloop]

I haven't applied to Masters programs and never really considered it.
At this point I've applied to post-bacc programs that will either count towards my undergrad GPA (average in) or be a separate graduate GPA on my transcript. I'm wondering which would be more beneficial if I did well in the program.

ie) 3.0 from undergrad, 3.xx in grad post-bacc program
or a single 3.1, 3.2 due to an averaging in from an undergrad post-bacc program

Because in the end, admissions look at the overall GPA(s)?

You will still need an SMP if you have a 3.0 undergrad GPA, no matter what you do in your post-bacc, i doubt you will raise your cGPA high enough to be competitive at US MD schools

Okay, sounds good, thanks! I'm basically debating between a grad post-bacc or an undergrad post-bacc. Got accepted into CSU East Bay, where their classes will average with my undergrad GPA, and got accepted to Drexel IMS where their classes are the same as their med school's, so the GPA is graduate. Guess I've made my decision! Thanks again!

If you got into IMS, I would ask them how many students with your stats then get into their med school.... unless you are talking about the Sacramento program, which is very unknown at this point
