Current Post-bacc here. I honestly got to say that you what you will get out of this program is exactly what you put into it. This program is very structured and "they" aren't out to get you. The order of lectures, the time between exams, the difficulty of the material is set up in a way that they are not messing with you, but you know exactly whats coming your way. If you can get your planning for studying what and when correctly, you will do fine. The material in the first semester is more forgiving than the second semesters material. Second semester is almost twice as hard as first. It's not an accident that it is set up this way, this is done so you can take advantage of it. A lot of students come in thinking they just need to maintain a 3.0 so they end up not working as hard the first semester only to screw themselves over because they went below. Use first semester's relatively easier material to buffer up your GPA. Go ALL OUT first semester and get the highest possible GPA and don't become complacent. Not only will you be one of the first people to get your interview, but you will get your acceptance earlier, taking that much stress off you. In addition, you won't be as stressed second semester and will be able to "afford" getting lower grades. Anatomy and Pharmacology are the 2 hardest classes second semester and you will want/need that GPA buffer in the event you get a C in one or both of these classes. That won't be a big deal if you have a high GPA first semester to make up for second semester. Statistically very few students that got a 2.9ish first semester were able to pull up their overall gpa to 3.0 in previous years. DO NOT get a low 3.0 first semester, GET a 3.4 or higher. Anyone with 3.4 or higher this year got their acceptance letter early. If anything, assume that the minimum GPA to matriculate is 3.2, you will work that much harder.
Hopefully I didn't scare you or anything, but yes this program is do-able and you are literally here to prove to LECOM that you are worthy of being a med-student because lets face it, were all in this program because we have less than stellar academics/MCAT. So if you're gonna be a med student, then they expect you to act like one and perform like one. There are many resources the school gives out, use them. They even have tutors to help you if you are struggling.
After I finish up the post-bacc, I'm gonna write up a class-by-class "how-to" since every class is different and every professor is different. This should help to understand what to expect in the class and how to study efficiently for that class.
My GPA is less than 3.0 without grade replacement so now looking at what options I have for post-baccs/SMPs. How does this work when you apply via AACOMAS?
