Hey Monika! Congratulations on your medical school acceptance! I am in the debate whether I should do a postbacc or SMP. I already took all of the required classes in my undergrad. My undergrad grades were not that great so I am considering the opportunity. I would love to hear your insights! Thank you so much!
This is a good question! In a lot of instances a 1 year post-bacc and a SMP are interchangeable. So basically, if you have already taken your premed requirements then I would recommend a SMP or postbacc that lets you take upper level science courses such as anatomy, physiology, embryology etc. I wouldn't recommend doing a postbacc where you have to re-take your undergrad courses again. Hope this helps!
@@monikabapna Thank you so much!!! Your insights are beneficial! Would you feel comfortable disclosing your GPA after your postbacc? A range would be sufficient to get an idea of how much a postbacc can help because I am afraid that a postbacc wouldn't help my grades too much.
@@ameliawan9729 So that's another thing about programs like mine - you don't really get to average your undergrad GPAs and postbacc GPA. You get a separate GPA for your postbacc program that is evaluated separately from the rest of your undergrad grades. If you are doing a postbacc with undergrad courses (e.g physics, chem) then things are a little different!
Hi! Thank for the video! Would you mind making a video on your specific study strategies and work flow for achieving the grades you did? Do you mind sharing what your undergrad gpa is?
@@Medpostbacc I worked remotely for a nonprofit! i think anything that doesnt cause you to have a crazy commute should be fine. Your time during the smp is super precious!

Hi! May I ask which post-bac program you went to? Thanks! :)
What program did you complete?
Hi! Thank for the video!
Would you mind making a video on your specific study strategies and work flow for achieving the grades you did? Do you mind sharing what your undergrad gpa is?
Did you end up going to the med school where you got your postbacc from ?
I was waitlisted at that school!
I fall into the grades category. Do you know more about the first route you mentioned?
Can I work and do this? I’m assuming there are evening programs?
Which post bacc program did you go to?
So if the postbac programs takes 2+ years, they will give you a masters degree?
Depends on the program but many do!
Great video! Do you mind telling us how old you are?
I’m 25!
Hey Monika, how many hours did you work during the SMP?
About 6-7 hours a week! Especially during my fall semester. Increased my hours in the spring cause my course load was a little lighter
@@monikabapna Nice. Where did you work at? I am starting an SMP, and I am considering working on-campus because I qualify for federal work-study.
