Hey,

I am a Canadian student interested in going to a US school. My C-GPA is about 2.9. (3.7 - 4th year, 3.1 - 3rd year ... lower than 3 in 1st/2nd year).
I have 2 years of clinical research expirience in cardiology for U of Toronto.
I haven't taken any bio/chem/phys courses.

Is there a chance i can get into some post-bacc program with those stats? and are there any 1 year post-pac options for someone like me?

Thanks in advance
Alex 🙂

You can look into the Harvard Extension program. They are known to take non traditional students with lower GPAs.

You can take classes almost anywhere. Go to a JC, state school, private school....and take the prereqs. You don't need to be enrolled in a formal post bacc, though it may offer more structure and guidance.

No, the classes are not curved so there is no competition between you and the guy next to you.

so all the classes at HES are held at night, once a week?
