There were a couple of posts on here related to this but not as specific to my problem and they did not include curriculum.
I am currently applying for SMPs and Masters programs because this past round of applications was unsuccessful. The two cities I would like to be in (Gainesville or Charlotte both for personal reasons) do not have a SMP but have masters in exercise physiology or kinesiology. I need GPA and mor help (3.34 cGPS and 3.09 sGPA although I did not include some courses in my science GPA that I found out I could) which makes it feel like a SMP would be better but let me fully explain my opportunities below.
My Profile:
UF: Masters in Exercise Physiology
My advisor would be my research PI from the last 3 years and can sign off on me taking a few courses at the medical school.
