VCU's post-bac program is bad 4 u.

Members do not see this ad.

that is right.

1. biochem class.
they tell you to buy that big fat book that the instructors have used when they were studying biochem. then they talk about stuffs that are not in the book, and you probably can't find a book that has all the things that they have talked about, either. and they don't give out handouts, either. and when you try to find a decent book in the libary, you can't find any. the books that they have are really out dated.

some of the exam questions are repeated questions. so if you don't know anyone who has the old exam, you are out of luck.

2. physio class.
they ask you to buy a big fat handout which seems to be good. once again, the insturctors talk about like out of the world materials which you can't seem to find in the handout. They can cover like 10 or 20 pages of material in just one hour class. however, the title would be the same, but the details are quite different from the handout.

and the questions that they give in the exams are not easy. for biochem, they don't give you multiple choice questions as you would get in med. schools, they ask you to write big essay questions. and the questions that you get for the physio part are really phd level.

so in conclusion, the vcu program will not make you a stronger candidate for med. schools. the program is definitely harder than med. schools'. you might even end up with worse GPA than you started with. if you are an average student in undergrad, you should try to find another program. this is not the program that you think that you would excell from your undergrad performance.

It's really tough - I did it last year. You, however, are simply lying about all of the stuff in your post. I actually ended up doing really well and, since the program is so hard, it can only look better to schools. Are you a student there right now? Which department? If you are in the physiology department, maybe I'll see you at the seminar tomorrow.

 

[youngman]

😱 i don't lie. no need to lie about this program. i don't get any benefits out from bashing this program.

so don't just accuse me of lying, why don't you tell everyone how i "lied."

u may did very well, but to all those med. schools, they don't really care how hard the program is, they only care about the scores that you get. besides, vcu is not an ivy school. what is the purpose of studying a very hard program in an less known school? that could only hurt if you get bad grades.

they are still giving seminars? so boring. and most of the students don't even go.

 

[VPDcurt]

no need to be so angry just because you couldn't cut it in the program. yeah it's tough but you are only better off if you succeed in such an environment. the students that come out of it and enter med school end up doing exceptionally well in their first and second years.

 

[youngman]

your logic doesn't stand. first you accused me lying, now you are accusing being angry. nevertheless, you still haven't told everyone how i "lied".

i am telling everyone the truth. vcu's post-bac program is bad. because half of the class will get Cs, Ds and Fs. so it is not a very helpful program at all. And the information that you learned are way beyond med. schools' level.

yes, if you do well, you can do well in med. schools. then you have to realize that most people who are doing post-bac programs are those average students. they don't need any more Cs in their transcripts. therefore, i tell everyone that program is bad for u all.

you speak very poor english. maybe that is why you failed at vcu. the program is tough but you lied about the testing situations, the professors, and the course materials. no one believes a word you say anyway so what is the difference? you are essentially a miserable human being that tried to get into med school, failed at numerous attempts (probably), and now you are simply bitter about your current situation. stop preaching to others to attend a carib. med school - just shut your mouth and go there yourself.

 

[youngman]

once again, stop just criticize me without providing any evidence.

1. if you think that i speak poor english, show me examples.

2. lying, if you think that i lied, don't repeat yourself, give us evidence to believe that i "lied." if you think that i lied about testing situations, then tell us about the testing situation, course materials, etc.

u know, i will get my md degree in the next years or so, while u will still try to finish your vcu post-bac program without a future.

Gentlemen,

This is a forum for faciliating postbacclaureate and potential postbacclaureate students; a place when they can become enlightened and share their successes in order to enhance the chances of other students.... not a playground for immature back and forth bantering.

If you two seek to embody the future physicians of tommorow, then its going to be one sad and bleak future for those seeking health care.

If you have an argument, present your words with respect and dignity (something we look for in doctors) rather than belittling the other person. If you two are unable to treat one another with respect, how can it be possible to treat hundreds of patients with more serious issues?

Grow up.

This type of extrapolation is commonplace on SDN yet it truly bears no significance when determining whether or not someone can become a good physician. It is just the trendy thing to say whenever people are in an argument. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though. I agree that this should be a positive environment for Post-bacc students and therefore I am trying to point out that "youngman" is merely angry because he failed miserably and hence feels the need to lie about the program (his aggression lies in the fact that, not only does he speak poor english, but ended up at a med school in the caribbean).

 

[VPDcurt]

I will point out examples of your poor use of the english language per your request:

then they talk about stuffs that are not in the book

you might even end up with worse GPA

u may did very well

Maybe I'll post info regarding your other request if I can find the time. Have a good one.

Hey VPD,

This guy is a total wank and is a student at Ross who has been trolling around spewing his anger AND ignorance all over the post-bacc forum. He blew his chance at going to a US school and now just stews in his miserable failures on an island that is too small to offer any distraction for him (do a search on his posts).

Thanks for pointing out how poor his english is, I wanted to but thought it was giving this loser more time than he's worth. In any event, just let him rot on his island while he sits jealous of all of us who still have plenty of opportunity,

Yougman should be booted from this forum

i agree - this is the last time i post on this thread - it is not worth my time!

 

[youngman]

ok. i will try to correct them.

Then they talk about stuffs that are not in the book

You might even end up with lower GPA

U may have done very well

vpdcurt, you know, the funny thing is that i will be getting my MD degree in the next few years, and you will still struggle trying to get in one. and by the time, i am done with med. school, you will be loaded with debts, and i will soon be loaded with the money that i make.

laught at me all you want, postbac is the only program that is right for u. not the med. school.

As a post-bac student, I am extremely aware that the ability to pursue the type of education that is required to apply to medical school is a rare opportunity and privilege in this world. Good luck to all!

well said. i am trying to help those who are considering vcu's post bac program, but there are those idiots who think that i am talking trash. totally nonsense.

if you haven't done any significant change since your undergrad work, vcu postbac is definitely not for you. and for that guy who is already in the program,

I know I said I wouldn't post anymore on this thread, but I just couldn't resist. Did anyone else see Youngman's attempt at correcting his piss-poor english? I thought it was hilarious!!!

and please tell us what this has anything to do with the original subject.
two, are you trying to tell everyone that you have no control of yourself? you can't keep your own promise? that is a bad sign if you want to get in a med. school

 

[Herman Bloom]

Why should you be admitted to any medical school in this country if you aren't able even to speak the language?

perhaps you could learn and to speak and write it much more better in future class experience.

Sound about right?

 

[iamhot2]

i totally agree, that guy doesn't even know how to spell "grammar." why should he be admitted to any med. school in this country.

on the other hand, there are plenty of people who only speak spanish. and you will be forced to learn spanish in order to communicate with them. perhaps they could learn and to speak and write it much more better in future class experience.

[Flexure]

I have actually enjoyed this thread, I think that rigorous debate on the merits of any program is a worthy topic.

But still, I don't see how endless blathering will achieve anything. I think when engaged in debate the key thing to remember is to be constructive and respectful beyond anything else.

This is hilarious.

 

[mprover]

thats pretty rediculous. I would HOPE that the program is tough. Hell, the tougher it is, the better. If adcoms see the program as a tough one (big if) , and a student does well in it , Im sure thats a good situation. Im sure its not as impossible as the first poster makes it out to be (hope not for my sake), but I do expect it to be challenging.
