 “I chose to enroll in the Johns Hopkins Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program because of the opportunities for research and volunteer work at Hopkins and in greater Baltimore, and also due to the small size of the program, which leads to more personal interaction with other post-bac students and for advising. I was also looking for an institution that would have a broad variety of experiences possible for extracurricular involvement, and full access to the university as any other student would.
The director and former post-bac students have lots of great advice in terms of class selection, and besides the prerequisites you’re able to take other undergraduate classes or graduate-level classes at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. I was also able to become involved in research into critical care outcomes research, looking into patients’ quality of life after extended ICU stays. Even if you move away from Baltimore, you are well supported during the duration of your application year, whether you need help revising your personal statement and secondary essays or practicing for interviews.”
