I need cheap classes to boost GPA

[Duneranger]

If people are recommending a master's for a chance at medical school, why not apply for the master's in physician assistant studies (MPAS)? At least you have a degree with utility if you don't get accepted into a DO or MD school. I'm sure there are PA schools that accept "medical school rejects" (lower GPA/MCAT) all the time as long as you have the prerequisites! I also noticed a DO school that accepts PAs with advanced standing, but one can always apply to the full MD/DO programs. https://lecom.edu/college-of-osteopathic...ways/apap/

I know a guy who did the LECOM bridge.

Basically... If it was for me, I'd think about the PA vs the MS and which may propel them further into getting accepted into a MD/DO program. Then... There are many BSc/MD, MSc/MD or PhD/MD programs available, those are options to investigate as well.  Here's an example for those who are Christian and like Liberty University, they've got the 3+1 BSc/DO program, your last year BSc is your first year DO.

MD/PhD programs are no joke. There is a reason why they are funded by grants (i.e. free).
