As I'm nearing the last leg of graduate school and looking into professional schools, I am weighing all my options before applications are sent out on June 1st. A doctor friend of mine did a post-bacc program here, and he recommended I come and check out the campus and speak with the staff members.
This campus is pretty big, and their facilities are very modern. When my friend came to school here, it was before all the construction took place. Now the brand new facilities house students in their DO, PA, DVM, and post-bacc programs.
I sat down with some of the faculty member here and inquired about their admissions criteria, their match rates, and where my application stood. So I have a good application thus far, but the MCAT will determine it all. There are good post-bacc options: the 1-year MA program, and the 2-year program with an emphasis on research. They are good feeder programs to the professional school on this campus. A good option to keep in mind.
The environment itself is good for studying, as there are no distractions and the students are very focused.
Will I end up here in the next step of schooling? Time will tell. But I am impressed by their school, and it's only a 6-hour drive from LA.
