Letter of recommendation for Post-Bacc Program Admission

Nontraditional Premed Discussion

Hi Everyone. I have had insomnia for the last few weeks after deciding that I am going to pursue this life-long dream, for the third time!


The last science courses that I took were 20 years ago. I am targeting to begin in Spring 2010 a Post-Bacc Pre-Health Professions Program. I am doing some self-tutoring until then.


I need to provide 3 letters of recommendation to the Post-Bacc program. I have been researching what information to provide my recommenders about myself and have found that a lot of the info out there is for high school students.


I would like to ask if anyone has any pointers on what information I should provide about myself and the letter to my recommenders.


Thanks so much. I look forward to being on this forum.

You’re talking about UC Berkeley’s extension program, right?

3

Yes, that would be it! Do you know anything about it?

No, unfortunately, I’m not too familiar with the program. All I know about the program is what I read on SDN (which isn’t too complimentary):

But take everything SDN (good or bad) says with a grain of salt.

Thanks for the info. Although I did not read anything bad about the program, per se.

Thanks. I didn’t read anything that made me change my mind. In fact, I like that UC Berk has a reputation. Can only help my cause.
