So my question is what counts as postbacc designation when applying to med school? After finishing my (traditional) senior year in college I didn't have enough credits to graduate. I took some time off and started working and took some classes here and there for a few years (including some pre recs) before finally finishing my degree 4 years after my traditional senior year. So again my question is between my traditional senior year and 4 years later when I actually go my degree, do those classes in between count as post bacc or should I consider them senior year since I technically didn't have a degree? I'd like to know what to label these classes when I start my application. Thanks in advance!

Post bac means post baccalaureate degree

Only classes that you take after receiving your degree are considered post bac. For your UG courses, you classify them based on your class standing at the time completed.
