Doing a post-bacc across two different schools? (UCSD Extension + Undergrad Uni)
Hey everyone,
I’m currently navigating my post-bacc journey and I’ve run into some major scheduling conflicts. To make my timeline work, I’m considering taking my remaining prereqs at two different institutions, specifically UCSD Extension and my undergrad university.
Has anyone here done a "patchwork" post-bacc like this?
I’m mainly worried about:
Med School Admissions: Do ADCOMs care if your DIY post-bacc isn't all in one place? Does it look like I’m "shopping" for easier grades, even if it’s truly just a scheduling issue?
Committee Letters: If you split your time, did you find it harder to get a committee letter or a composite evaluation?
Logistics: Was sending multiple transcripts a headache during the application cycle?
For context, I’m working full-time, so the flexibility of the Extension courses is huge, but my undergrad school offers some upper-level labs that fit better in person.
Would love to hear from anyone who has successfully (or unsuccessfully) balanced two different schools at once! Thanks in advance.
