• Reflect on your own circumstances– your financial situation, your professional goals, etc.
• 与HSAC顾问谈谈。
• 和你被拒绝的学校的招生官员谈谈。 他们通常很乐意迁就你，并提供改进建议。
• 与你想要就读的医学/专业学校的招生人员交谈。 然后，他们的推荐将与你和你的学术/职业目标直接相关。
• 弄清楚你是否错过了医学/专业学校的先决条件。 A post-bac will make sure you have all the prerequisites, whereas a master’s may not (depending on the program you choose).

健康科学后学士课程的特点

• Designed for students with a bachelor’s degree who need an extra step before entering medical/professional school, due to low GPA, rejection from all professional schools, etc.
• 回访往往是专门的（即医疗回访、牙科回访、理疗回访等）。
• 对于在申请医学/专业学校之前需要完成先决课程的学生有帮助。
• 精简专门帮助您进入医学/专业学校。
• You take  what are essentially upper division health sciences classes. The information from these courses will help you later on in medical/professional school.
• 通常你毕业后的GPA会计入你的本科GPA。 That means that if you perform well in the postbac, your St. Mary’s GPA will actually appear higher on your medical/professional school application.
• Some schools grant you a second bachelor’s degree or some other certificate upon completion of the program, but not always.
• 如果，在复试结束时，你决定不再想继续读医学/专业学校，复试的证书对你没有多大帮助。 只有当你绝对知道医疗保健行业适合你的时候，才考虑回邮！

Characteristics of a Master’s Program

• 这些项目不会像邮政生那样，只面向那些希望进入医学/专业学校的人。
• You will pursue a Master’s degree in a hard science, such as Biochemistry or Physics.
• You will receive a Master’s degree upon completion of the program, which gives you a fallback in case you still don’t get into medical/professional school on your second try.
• Consider a Master’s program if you have doubts about pursuing a medical career. Pursuing a Master’s degree in a field that is interesting to you may open up other possibilities, like medical research or an opportunity outside of healthcare that suits you better.
• 有一个有趣的背景和证书可能会让你对医学/专业学校更有吸引力。
• 根据课程的不同，你将有机会或被要求做研究。 这可能会让你比其他申请者更有优势，或者可能让你对健康科学/医学的不同方面有更深入的了解。
