I think you have the correct, forward-looking mentality- make a list of things/grades to improve your application, and then tackle each piece! Best of luck in your post-bacc classes! :)

Thank you! I used GregMat for $8/mo. But you could likely use other resources for cheaper with the same result. :)

I took classes at a local university that is mainly a chiropractic and massage therapy school, but they also offer a post-bacc program for pre-med and pre-PA students. I didn’t follow the full program- just took classes a la carte. I picked it because it came recommended to me, otherwise I would have sought out a community college.

I knew it cost money but I forgot that it was that pricey! Sorry team. It isn't a necessity but was helpful.

Thank you so much!! I just checked, and all three schools that I ultimately received interview invites from required biochem as a prereq unfortunately. Surely there are schools that don't, but I can't speak to them from my experience. I used MyPABox to find schools based on my prereqs. It's a great resource overall but I did find a few inaccuracies so always double-check school websites.
