postbaccalaureate

I'm currently a student in a post-baccalaureate program to finish up prerequisites I haven't taken before. In my undergrad years, I took both the lecture component of Physics 1 and 2 online where exams were proctored in person but the lectures were all online. This was all done pre-pandemic. I...

I'm looking to apply to postbaccalaureate programs next application cycle (Fall 2020) and some of them require standardized test scores. I haven't taken the GRE, and don't intend to.

Hi there, I am in the process of deciding between two post-bacc programs: The University of Michigan's MEDPREP program and Agnes Scott's program. I have heard more about Agnes Scott's program, as it has been around for much longer, but I do not want to discount Michigan's program because it...

Hello everyone! I'm what most postbac-premed offerers consider a "career-changer." I didn't know what I wanted to do straight out of high school, and settled on studying my passion--music. I now will be graduating with my B.A. in Music in December, but over the course of my junior and senior...

Hey guys, I am struggling to make a proper decision in regards to my career path. I will be a fourth year in the fall, and in order to apply this cycle I need to take my MCAT soon and apply (probably late, which will make my chances much slimmer). I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and up...

Hey SDN! I am a Canadian MSc. student who is applying to U.S. MD and DO schools this year. Given the disadvantage that Canadians face as out-of-state/international applicants to the U.S., I want to hedge my bets by applying to a post-bacc program. I've read about the linkages that some programs...

Hi everyone, I was recently admitted to the premedical postbacc program at Washington University in St. Louis. Is there anyone here that is currently in the program or has completed the program that would be willing to share their experience and answer a few questions I have? Thank you!

Hi all, I was wondering if a post bacc is worth it? My current GPA is a 3.53 and I think my sGPA is around a 3.2. I'm planning on taking the MCAT next July/August. This means that I would enroll in a post bacc program for the fall. Is it worth it?
