Medical school

[jackzack87]

Thanks for that info...if you don't mind sharing, can you tell me what you did for your prereqs? How much of your TESC degree will (or won't) go towards your platform for med school?

I've done a little investigating on my fellow alum, TESC actually mailed out postcards with her picture on them. When I went to the site link on the postcard, it led me to the foundation's alumni donation site .
Let's understand something, she did a formal post-bac at Hopkins AFTER she graduated from TESC. She, at the time, was an employee at Hopkins working in the research dept. I've no doubts that her references, post-bac grades from a BIG name school, and committee letters had everything to do with her admission. She has a good story to tell, I've read her acceptance letter for "client of the month" at her medadvisor's site. Yes, she hired a paid medical school advisor/consultant. There are such people, and for a few thousand, they'll help you build an application. She was their STAR of the month. (read: underdog)

My point, is that TESC didn't get her into medical school. They were a brick wall if anything. In fact, TESC doesn't even offer ONE premed class. Not one. Her degee in her bio is too vague, but she may have had a prior medical cert or clinical science education that she was buiding on (she had PLAs and earned the BSAST- an odd degree choice unless you have a lot of prior credit). I was unable to find where her unused pre-TESC credit came from, but it was Ivy.

All that being said, I'm applying to med school next fall without any of that.
