What have you done since your last application to change your application? It's good that you are applying to DO and you should probably put much focus on those applications. I'm not sure how much help your midyear grades will help with yur application. I would think by December most of the interviews would be scheduled or even completed. You might be better to wait until you are finished with the program at Drexel to apply.

Come back when you finish the Drexel program, and then I'll advise for MD schools. Your numbers are fine for most DO programs.

@Goro what is the point of applying(actually reapplying) to MD schools before the SMP even starts? I thought the whole purpose of doing the SMP is to make yourself a better candidate.
