Hey! I am a post-bacc student at Fordham, currently in my application cycle. Hopefully, I can shed some light to help in your decision-making.
To your points:
• Schedule: Most of the core science classes are on weekday evenings. The classes are 3 hours long instead of 1.5 hours on two separate days. Therefore, you need only one weekday per class (labs not included). This will give you the flexibility to do volunteering, shadowing, clinical work, etc., during the day/weekends to build up your application. Also, labs are the only weekend classes that I can think of.
• Age: I would say that most students in my class were undergrads. In a class of 20, there were probably 6-8 students who were older nontrads. I became friends with the older students and a mentor to some of the undergrads. My suggestion is to not worry about it much – focus on your grades and do the best you can. There are a bunch of veterans in the program, so you may find support through them. FYI - I was around the same age as some of my professors, and it didn’t bother me much.
• Other tidbits: At the end of the program, the prehealth committee will write you a letter of recommendation and help you to prepare your application ahead of time.
You might want to check out this podcast episode: Should I Get a Second Degree or Just Take More Classes?. The gist is that it doesn’t matter where you go, do well in your classes and the MCAT.
Overall, I had a generally positive experience with the program. Feel free to ask me specific questions you may have.
