Not sure if I qualify as a non-trad or not. Stats are 3.2 both science and overall with a 27 MCAT and very good ECs. Huge upper trend. Around 140 total credits so far. I am a senior with a biology major and will finish up my degree next semester. I am currently applying this cycle for medical school and wondering if I should graduate or not should I need to reapply if I dont have any luck. 15 DO schools (most submitted/complete) and 4 in state M.D. schools (not yet submitted completed). My question is should I graduate and start over or delay graduation and retake some classes while still in UG.. or ami able to do them after graduation as post-bacc at a CC. Also, SMP vs Master vs Biomedical program.

Thanks!

Go ahead and graduate. Your numbers are fine for most DO programs, but not very competitive for MD schools. A 27 MCAT is circling the drain.
