I'm in the process of applying to post-bacc programs (for those who want to enhance their credentials, and not basic science courses) and I can't find any schools with average stats.

Do you have any idea what the competition is like at some of the schools like Drexel, UPenn, etc?

Thanks!

post-bac or masters programs? post-bacs are not very competitive. I know SC has a cut-off at 3.0....I'm sure there are others with lower cut-offs. I think most special masters programs are about the same, but maybe a little more competitive.
 
post-bac at bu (the mams program) was initially uber competitive during fall semester...esp since everyone comes in not really knowing what to expect and want to do really well. but soon enough you realize that it doesn't really matter how well the person sitting next to you is doing. your best is good enough.

but i found that people at this program are pretty cutt-throat
