I'm a college senior looking at Philadelphia-area postbacs and came across Villanova's but can't find much information about it. Has anyone applied there? Gone there? Anyone know what their medical school acceptance rate is like? Any info on this program is appreciated!

I don't think it's really "a post-bac" in the way that those are defined on SDN. Yes, you can take the med school pre-reqs there as a post-baccalaureate student, but then you leave and handle all of the med school apps on your own. They don't have any linkages or much advising, so it's really no different than taking the classes at your state school or whatever college is closest (probably a lot more expensive though). Maybe you get priority registration so that you don't get bumped out of sections by undergrads, but I doubt that.

Usually a program will go out of their way to tout their statistics and past successes, so it's telling when a webpage is that bare. That said, if anybody else has better info, feel free to chime in!
