Hey everyone,

So I am going to be applying to a bunch of premed postbacc programs (Goucher, Bryn Mawr, UPenn, etc). Many of those programs begin accepting applications for rolling admissions around November.

I graduate in December (4.5 year program for Music Education). I will also be taking a calc class this fall (and I took a statistics class this summer).

Basically, I want to get my app in early, but should I wait until I have the calc grades and my bachelor's (aka December)? Or can I just say that I am currently enrolled in calc?

Thanks!

I have some experience with the admissions office at the Scripps College Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program. In my opinion, with rolling admissions, it's better to get your application in early and then just update your file when you get your grades.

I applied as early as rolling admissions allowed me to. I updated them several times with new grades and information. It worked for me, I didn't get denied to any of my SMP's/Post-baccs.
I would say apply as soon as you can and just keep updating them- more contact with admissions can't hurt.
