Hey guys, I'm just a little confused about finding the right post bacc program and would truly appreciate your help.
I'm 23 and graduated in May 2014 with a 2.9 cumulative GPA. I am passionate and determined my dream to attend dental school.
Below are the science courses I have already taken (along with the grades) during undergrad:
1. Gen Chem I - A-
2. Gen Chem I LAB - B+
3. Gen Chem II - B+
4. Gen Chem II Lab - B-
5. Bio I w/ Lab - B+
6. Bio II w/ Lab- B-
7. Orgo I - D
8. Genetics - D
9. Physiology - B-
From my research, I'm aware of 2 types of post-bacc programs:
1. Career changers (Candidates with zero to minimal science courses taken)
2. Academic Enhancers (Those who have already completed their pre-requisites in undergrad, but hope to simply enhance their GPA)
Having already received my bachelor's degree in Biobehavioral Health and missing 2 pre-requisite courses (Organic Chemistry and Physics), which post-bacc program would best fit my situation?
Option #1: Apply for a formal post-bacc, in the goal of retaking previously taken pre-requisite courses and also fulfilling my remaining 2 pre-requisite courses.
Option #2: Take the remaining two pre-requisite courses (Orgo and Physics) at a local university as a non-matriculant student, then apply for an academic enhancer post-bacc program?
