georgetown smp

I got accepted to both school, and need to decide between two. If anyone has any opinion, please let me know. Btw my cGPA: 3.1, MCAT: 500. Need more volunteer hours and shadowing hours. Both programs seem to have a good reputation and have similar advising resources and externship...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone can help me decide between SMPs. I recently got accepted to both Georgetown 1-year SMP and NYMC 1-year accelerated SMP, and was wondering if anyone has any insights to these programs. I will be applying to medical schools this upcoming cycle, and just...

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone had possible school recommendations. I am from the MW and got a 3.52 in the GT SMP. MCAT of 517. I actually was not a science major in my UG so I did some bare minimum post bacc classes at Loyola in Chicago before starting the SMP - looking back, I think...

Hi! I was recently admitted to Tufts MBS (dual degree with MPH) as well as Georgetown's SMP Program and only have a few days to make a decision. I was also admitted to UPenn's Specialized Studied Pre-health Postbacc, but was leaning towards Tufts/Gerogetown. I am having a lot of trouble...

Hi guys, I noticed there's no thread for this yet. I was accepted 5/3 and I was wondering if any alumni had any input on this program/ its helpfulness for med school. I am also considering GT SMP and would like to hear some of the differences of these two programs besides the technical...

Hi! I'm graduating this May and know that I probably need an academic record enhancer post bacc program to be considered a strong applicant. I'm currently looking at Georgetown SMP, BU MAMS, Brown ScM and Johns Hopkins Master of Health Science (all 1 year programs) and got accepted to Duke MBS...

I'm a senior pre-med student who decided to pursue a Masters degree in my first of (hopefully) two gap years due to a less-than-great undergrad GPA. I applied to a bunch of special masters type programs that are aimed at pre-med students. I've heard back from most of the schools and am trying...

Hello All, During this gap year, I have the option of pursuing a SMP-like program (Georgetown's Regular Masters in Physiology which highly mimics its SMP program) to boost my GPA or to pursue taking the MCAT for a third time. If I were to become a re-applicant, I would like to have done...

Just made this account after bouncing between different ideas/advice from other posts. I'm a rising senior undergrad and have pretty much decided on a gap year. I was introduced to the idea of a postbacc program a couple of months ago and started researching my options. I was mainly looking for...

Hey everyone gained acceptance to what are my top choices for an SMP those being georgetown and loyola MAMS. Im having a pretty hard time deciding. I know most of the basics like how GT is graded on a really harsh curve and loyola is much more holistic/ appears to have a higher rate of...

I recently was accepted into both the Columbia IHN MS in human Nutrition Program as well as Georgetown Special Masters Program in physiology. I applied to med schools this cycle, but I have not gotten in anywhere yet. I was wondering which of these two programs would be most helpful at getting...
