<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.4pt">Join us to hear from Maheen Akhter, a second-year medical student at Central Michigan University College of Medicine, who will explain what a DIY post-bacc is,
why students should complete one, and how to get started. Students will leave with a new perspective on how to approach and select courses to take during their DIY post-bacc to obtain their goal GPA, learn how to register for courses through a CSU system via
Open University Program and lastly, learn to calculate their current GPA to decide how many credits are needed to obtain goal GPA<o:p></o:p></span></p>
