Hi, I am new to this site and have been reading different posts on postbac. I found the information on the site very insightful. I am wondering if I can get some help on which postbac programs I should apply to or have chances of acceptance.
I am a career changer in my 30's. I hardly took any science class in ugrad and that was more than 10 years ago. My ugrad GPA is 3.7 and SAT is around ~1350. I have a MBA but not sure what my GPA is. Its definitely not very high around prob ~3.0 as I thought I was done with school. Do the postbac programs look more closely at ugrad GPA vs grad GPA?
I don't have as much clinical or volunteer experience. I have quit work to focus on this so I will be volunteering from now until whenever the program starts, but I won't have much prior to submitting any apps. Will this hurt me? My closest health related experience is that I worked at a healthcare company as a project manager, but don't think that really counts. I am going to try shadowing a doctor in the mean time (looking into this at the moment). Ideas on how to do this other than family/friends?
Another question I have is that majority of these programs require an academic reference. Is this crucial? Can I get two work recommendations instead?
I would like to attend a structured program like Goucher, Scripps, Mills, and BM. Will I have a chance? If not, recommendations?
Thank you for your help!
