What To Look For When Applying To Post-Bacc Programs Before Medical School or Dental School

- Recently, a subscriber sent me a direct message on Instagram and asked what they should look for in a post-bacc program for their gap year before applying to dental school. I decided to make a video highlighting some of the important features of a strong postbacc program, and I asked some of my classmates who are current medical students what their thoughts were too!
I think some important things to look for in a post-bacc program are:
- What kinds of courses are they offering? Do these courses represent a professional school curriculum? Do these courses satisfy and pre-requisites I may be missing?
- Where are the alumni from this program now? Is this program known for getting students into medical school, dental school, pharmacy school, or whichever professional school I'm looking to attend?
- Is there a linkage program available, where I could apply and be automatically considered/accepted to the school's associated professional school?
There are other gems dropped, so make sure you watch all the way through and like the video!
If you're new to the channel, my name is Eli and I am a 3rd year dental student at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine. I attended the University of Maryland, College Park for undergrad, and I did a post-bacc program at George Mason and Georgetown Universities, called G Squared.
On my channel I vlog my dental school journey as well as make videos for pre-dental students who want advice on getting into dental school. I didn't have the easiest journey to dental school, and a unique story, as I was interested in medical school for 2 years after graduating before switching to dental. Follow along my journey as a dental student and after I graduate, I want the channel to be a way for young Black men and women to see someone that looks like them working in the healthcare field. Also, share the channel with anyone you think may find it interesting! I appreciate all the support and really want to get my TH-cam out there.

I couldn’t agree with your tips here more enough. Solid advice, especially on emphasizing key factors such as the curriculum offerings!
Very helpful thanks!
Very helpful!
Thank you for this information!
Of course!
Great video! I’m in a post baccalaureate program at Agnes Scott College! In the works of securing my top 10 dental schools!! I plan to take the DAT in Feb. My post baccalaureate program offers test prep included with expenses
That is awesome!
Okay finally i found someone who might be able to help out so i am an international student and i have been accepted at a university in California they are a university that is not your conventional university they are different different including the curriculum extremely unique the good thing however is the financial aid is amazing i will graduate my undergraduate degree debt free now this university with their extremely unique curriculum i will not be able to cover my pre-med requirements ( at the end i will walk away with a liberal arts degree)but as unconventional as there curriculum may be it is difficult . Anyway moving on i would need to do a post bacc program everyone i have spoken to ( doctors in the US some international students themselves)have been very negative in telling me that basically i don't really stand any chances because most people that apply to these post bacc programs have done the premed requirements and many just didn't pass well i am stressed at the moment but this university with how unique it is and the insane amount of aid i am receiving even though i have a low gpa from high school just my( final transcript) is amazing but now am stressed am i really throwing away my future please advice if you can i do plan to use my holidays the summer and winter holidays to do mission trips volunteering etc etc i even when i was in high school my extra curricular activities were focused mainly on been of service to others e.g i was chairperson of the operation smile society at my school and we worked closely with the main operation smile organisation to raise money for these beautiful babies so they could get their smile fixed so doing it in university will not be a problem although at this point i feel like a headless chicken it is not nice to hear people telling you that you are making a mistake without even trying to help or advice me on how i can increase my chance of getting into this post baccalaureate program.sorry for the rant
Thank you so much
Of course!
