Med School Linkages | No MCAT? Easier to get in? Financial aid?

Super helpful! Appreciate your transparency. You did a good job laying out the pros/cons of linkages.

So helpful! Thanks :) Where can I find a list of linkage programs?

Here is a webpage from GW that links some of the linkage programs: smhs.gwu.edu/academics/md-program/admissions/joint-programs/post-baccalaureate-linkage-programs I know there are more, but that will require you to do a deeper dive on Google :) Good luck!

Hello! Thankful for your videos =) May I ask what program you went to?

Hi Raven! Thank you so much for this informative video. I’m considering the post bacc path myself right now. I was wondering: what are the specific requirements for certain linkages? I’m especially interested in linking to BU, Dartmouth, or Brown.

Hello! Glad you like the video! The requirements depend on the medical school. They generally have certain cut offs for your undergrad GPA, post bacc GPA, and sometimes they require the MCAT. They also take a holistic approach and look at your personal statements, previous life/work experience, and, if you are granted an interview, they take how you present yourself during the interview into account as well. You will get a lot of specific information about linkages once you start a post bacc. Good luck! :)

Hi Raven :) I watched your videos about post bacc programs, and they have been super helpful and encouraging as someone who is considering post bacc programs! I want to ask you some questions regarding post bacc programs and application process; is there an email I can reach you? Thank you so much!
