Where are the post-baccs here?
Here I am!
Where are you doing your post-bacc?
City College (a division of CUNY)
They actively encourage post-baccs to come in. They have all the courses that you might want (including different flavors, like calculus-based or non-calculus-based general physics). I have complained in the past about the paucity of night courses-- how they are scheduled always on Mons. and Weds. making it difficult to move quickly through your coursework if you don’t have days free.
There’s definitely a science-y vibe to the place although the science library is pathetic. It is the real New York, diverse, friendly, and funky. Your classmates range in age from 15-50, and were born in every country in the world. There are many students who have very little in the way of basic skills and it’s not infrequent to give an exam where 50% of the class fails because of this-- it can be quite sad, but in my opinion it is the fault of our crappy NYC public middle and high schools, not CUNY itself. The professors seem quite accomplished and tough-- the TAs vary widely, from smart and cool to clueless and hostile.
City will admit you up to a couple of weeks before the semester in question.
When do you hope to start med school?
Sept. 2006 or choke their rivers with our dead!!! Yeehah!
