Since I don't want to assume that it is okay to do this, is it okay to do a DIY post-bacc?
Is there some disadvantage that I am not realizing.. it seems that it would just cost more money (granting that there isn't some admissions guarantee) and my state school is 6400 for the year and it is a pretty good school with a pretty selective committee regarding the committee letter.
The other school that I was thinking of is more expensive, but doesn't have a committee, and instead has only a pre-med adviser. I don't know if it would be easier to get the necessary letter at the second school. The whole getting a committee letter just makes me nervous, and is really why I am asking, I am just stressed. I think that the acceptance rate is a big plus, though.
I am still pretty set on the first school though. I think that it is much more affordable if I in fact need 2 full years to boost my GPA than anywhere in my area. I just don't know if an unofficial post-bacc has some disadvantage unknown to me, which is really my question.
