So I recently looked into the application timeline, and realized that even if I apply this coming May, I wont be starting school until a year after (fall 2017). Now here's my deal:
I still have to take the April 23rd, and of course i'm depending on a good MCAT score to get into med school. However, although my post bacc gpa is 3.8-3.9 with all science courses (and it was my FIRST attempt at sciences; It wasn't to make up for a bad first run at a science major), I have a bad GPA from my psych degree. I'm gonna try applying this cycle in April and hope that if I get a good MCAT score the med schools will reward me for reinvention and see me as science competent.
Given my situation, I might need to get a good SMP GPA too. If I apply to an SMP, would I be able to take it during my gap year before fall 2017? or would I have to follow the same timeline; that is, waiting a year to be able to even start an SMP?
