you aren't getting in with a TESU BS

What's funny about this post is clearly that you haven't done the proper research.

The first link is for Touro Bayshore that does not even REQUIRE a BA! 

The second link clearly states "A baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution or an equivalent institution must be awarded prior to matriculation into the program"

The third link states "Applicants must have an earned bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution."

So, there is nothing there that states anything from TESU would not work. You have no basis for your claim unless you bring other proof or information!

Thanks for contributing though.

Having a BS from TESU isn't enough on its own, but if you take a quick year to finish your BA/BS from TESU, you can take a year or 2 years "pre-med or pre-professional sciences requirements" at the local 4-year college/university and that should be sufficient enough for admissions.  Some may go beyond those requirements and get a second BS in Biology/Chemistry or Organic Chemistry, maybe a BS Health Sciences even.  As long as you keep up the GPA and have all your prerequisites completed, you'll remain competitive.

I spent 3 years at my community college finishing all the pre-reqs and only then completing the BA from TESU. You are correct that as long as you keep the GPA up and have the pre-reqs you will be fine.
