The Formula for a Successful DIY Premed Postbac | OldPreMed Podcast Ep. 266

Today, I break down some of the factors you should consider when doing a DIY postbac, including: duration, goal, location (online vs in-person), and more!
But first, check out our sponsor Blueprint MCAT Prep at blueprintprep.com.
As always on the OldPreMeds Podcast, our question this week was taken from our nontraditional premed forum. Ask your own questions at premedforums.com.
We answer a few questions in this episode about DIY postbac programs:
• Is it adequate to only take one class at a time for your premed postbac?
• How does your current GPA and your trend affect how long you need your postbac to be?
• Should you retake your prereqs with lower grades? Or just take upper-level science classes in your postbac?
• And more!

I finally figured out why this is called "Old premeds" podcast. Now that I am one.

Hi Dr. Grey, You mentioned taking more than one class each semester. My question is what if the only classes you need are Chem 1, 2, organic, and biochemistry? Will my university allow me to take two Chemistry courses at once?

[@sierrastewart5725]

You need to follow up with your university. It’s not about the subject (because a chemistry major will take multiple chemistry courses at once)its about the pre requisite for each course. I couldn’t take organic chemistry without first taking chemistry. I think I need chemistry and organic chem done before I can take biochem. All schools are different and you should check with your school.
