Two of son’s housemates are former big Div I football players (one from Oregon, one from Auburn). Neither of them were able to do the premed prereqs as undergrads. Both did relatively easy undergrad majors to protect their GPAs, and then did post-baccs to get their premed prereqs done. It pushed back the time a bit, but they’re only abou 3 years older than son.

This seems like an excellent strategy. Their cum GPAs were very good, and then their science GPAs (mostly from postBaccs) were also very good.
