Dr. Shelton,

Thanks for your help. One more question if you don’t mind. Would med schools prefer to see my prereqs done in a formal postbacc premed program rather than simply taking them through extension @ UCLA? or does it just matter how I do? I ask because I am waiting to hear back, and if I don’t get in I am debating whether to apply to a few more, or save time and money and start taking extension classes. Thank you again. Joe

I am a recent san diego state university graduate with a degree in finance with a 3.2 GPA. After much soul searching and some volunteering, I am returning to school to become a physician. I have applied to a pre-med postbac program, but if I don’t get in I will simply take the prereqs through extension at UCLA. I have several questions. First, with such a low GPA, can I still be competitive if I kick butt in my science courses over the next 2 years? How do med schools view students with non-science degrees doing postbac work like myself? And what can I do over the next 2 years to increase my chances of getting into med school? Thanks!
