<p>Okay, I didn’t see the SFSU option until just now. That seems perfect. If Berkeley truly is as competitive in the premed track with its infamous grade deflation, then I should probably only take a few of those premed prereqs during undergrad (if I stick with this post-bacc plan that is). </p>
<p>I really thank you for this info ixr and andrewexd! Major help and a huge relief. I know med schools are incredibly competitive to get into. Real quick, how come the post-bacc option isn’t as well known? It seems alot easier to get into (at least for SFSU) than for med school in general. Why is this?</p>
<p>I want to become a child psychiatrist. Would doing a post-bacc program like the SFSU one hinder this?</p>
<p>Btw ixr, you perfectly described my situation. I’m starting my junior year in the fall with no premed reqs done, and I only recently decided to take this path. I’m also considering a PhD in Organizational Development. I think the best plan of action for me would be to go to UCB (if I get in) and take mostly major course reqs, but also some premed requirements. Then, hopefully I would go into a post-bacc premed program afterward.</p>
<p>Also, I would like to volunteer at a hospital. However, I’d also like to shadow a doctor…How does one begin shadowing a doctor lol?</p>
<p>Sorry for the absurd amount of questions guys, and thank you to everyone and anyone who can help me out.</p>
