Hi all,
I am currenltly in my third and final undergraduate year as an "organismal and evolutionary biology" major at Uof Oregon. If I pull a 4.0 my last two terms I will graduate with a 3.3 GPA. I am currently 20 years old, as I started college after three years of high school (I was in an accelerated program).
Obviously, I need to increase my credenials for M.D. admission. My MCAT is 27. I plan to retake it, possibily shortly after graduation.
This past summer I also completed two (it was rough!) medical school courses in embryology and histology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center http://www.unmc.edu/summerschool with grades of A and B+,
respectively. These grades are not factored into my undergraduate GPA
I am looking into specifically SMPs (actual medical school courses).
I am wondering if anyone here as ever felt "looked down" upon by the medical students? Is there a great deal of animosity between med students and SMPers? I certainily hope not.
I know SMPs are a big financial risk. However, I have no student debt as of now.
