Journey to Medicine
Meet Laura Ragmanauskaite PB'15 and learn about how this former Pre-Medical post-bacc student found success on her journey to medicine.
Our post-baccalaureate pre-medical programs include a pre-medical certificate and pre-medical flex program.
90% of qualified students who complete the Agnes Scott Post-Bacc Pre-Med program are accepted into medical school during their first application cycle.* Building on our success for over 26 years, we now offer programs tailored to our students' needs to pursue careers in health sciences with our Pre-Medical Certificate and Pre-Medical Flex post-baccalaureate programs.
We take a holistic approach by assisting with the academics, as well as aiding with an action plan for your medical or health professions application process - everything from MCAT preparation to personalized committee letters.
Whether you are a career-changer or in need of academic record enhancement, we offer in-person preparatory programs for individuals pursuing medical, dental, or veterinary school.
Open to highly motivated individuals, regardless of gender, with undergraduate degrees of any kind, our post-bacc pre-med programs offer the rigors of medical school in a supportive environment.
*Based on qualified students who completed our post-bacc pre-med program between 2014-2020 and who scored =/+ the 50th percentile on the MCAT.
Our 12-month cohort programs feature comprehensive studies in pre-medical laboratory sciences, taught by our award-winning faculty in small classes, and an MCAT (GRE, DAT, or related) preparation course, along with the necessary support and guidance to prepare you for the professional school application process. You'll benefit from:
The Pre-Medical Certificate program is for the career-changer who excelled in their academic programs and requires the necessary core science classes to apply to medical school. This 12-month, full-time cohort program is designed for students who took little to none of the core science requirements.
The Pre-Medical Flex program is a cohort program designed with flexibility in mind, with a 12-month full-time cohort and a 24-month part-time cohort. Ideal for students who need select pre-medical courses or who seek to improve their academic record to become competitive applicants for medical, dental, or veterinary school.
Agnes Scott’s post-bacc pre-medical students can reach their goal of becoming a physician a year earlier, avoiding the "glide year," through our linkage programs with Mercer University School of Medicine (MUSM) and Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM). Students enrolled in full-time and meet specific qualifications can apply for one of these lucrative linkage opportunities.
The Pre-Allied Health program offers a 12-month or 24-month cohort program designed for students who want to develop a career in professional allied health fields, such as physician assistant, pharmacy, physical therapy, and more. Pre-allied health students will complete the necessary sciences, with a clinical practicum experience. The program is designed for career changers and those looking to improve their academic credentials to become competitive applicants for health professions programs.
