Hey everyone! I'm currently applying to SMPs (Georgetown, Tulane, Boston, etc.) and plan on applying next cycle, I wanted to get a gauge from others about what I could improve on my application, what my chances are. My cGPA is 3.27 and sGPA is 3.3, my MCAT is a 497 but I'm retaking it again in...

Hey all! Thank you for your interest in the MAMS program. Please feel free to use this space to ask any questions that you may have!

Hey! I’m thinking about doing a postbac program/special masters program after graduation(spring 2019) but I’m having a hard time finding one I meet the qualifications for. So far, I’ve taken every requirement except physics. This puts me in a spot where I’ve taken too many classes for a career...

My uGPA is 3.3 (2.9 sGPA) I graduated with an SMP gpa of a 3.6 with 1 C. I had an upward trend where the last two semesters I took 15 credits each and earned As to make up for the C. I have solid ECs and I'm currently studying for my MCAT. I know an overall 3.6 isn't great but could it make up...

Graduated this May with B.S. in Biochemistry GPA trend is weird 3 semesters with a 2.6-2.7, 3 with 3.0-3.1 and 3 with 3.7-3.85 My last semester I took a decent amount of upper-level courses and did well. I got a B+ in Immunology though, and prereqs are mostly Bs. Didn't know I wanted to pursue...

The curriculum looks pretty cool but I can't find anything about their reputation online. I'm also having time determining if they are considered to be a SMP or not. Any info would be much appreciated!

Hi all, here is my story. I graduated from undergrad 2 years ago with a 3.59 overall and 3.29 BCPM. Have great clinical experience and decent volunteer experience. Worked in a microbio research lab for a gap year and attended an SMP program the year after that to solidify my chances and possibly...

Hey everyone! I am so curious. I've seen almost nothing about this program, but it's new so I kind of get it. Has anyone applied? Been accepted? Considering attending?

Forgive me if the title of this thread seems confusing, but I have a few questions. I am a URM (Black Woman, 26) and I finally decided to pursue my original dream of becoming a physician. I graduate in June with my Bachelors in Health Science (finally), but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to...

Hello everyone, I was recently accepted into both the Marian BMS program and Touro Harlem MS. I’m very conflicted on which to choose and would really like some advice, especially from anyone who has done either of these programs. I have a cumulative GPA of 3.15 and a science GPA of 3.35 with...

I’m currently in a predicament and need your advice. I’m a graduate student with a BS in biomedical sciences. My cGPA is 3.2, sGPA 3.0 and MCAT 489 (first attempt). I was advised to enroll in a special masters program but soon realized that going that route would be expensive. The courses that I...

Hi, I'm wondering if here are any users here who have attended an international master's program that was recognized by the med schools in the states. Does anyone recommend any resources in findings international "pre-medical" post grad programs?

So I am currently in my junior year of undergrad and have come to the realization that my GPA probably won't be very competitive when I graduate (3.25 cgpa and 3.0 sgpa), particularly for MD schools. I'm not biased towards MD or DO and plan to apply to schools that fall under both categories. I...

Can anyone who interviewed for the CST postbac programs provide advice/ information about what the program is like?

So my current GPA is a 2.41, obviously bad, didn't take school seriously and some other personal things that I got sorted out. Last semester I got a 3.2, and this semester looks to be around a 3.65 while working full time as a CNA in an ICU. I'm currently a 5th year senior looking to graduate in...

Currently, due to personal issues last quarter, I have a cGPA of 2.55 (waiting for one more grade to come back in Epidemiology which should be a B). I'm not entirely sure of my sGPA because I have attended 3 (yes, 3) colleges throughout my tenure as a student and I do not have access to all the...

Hey guys, Im applying to SMPs but found only 3 to 4 programs that are a good match for me. I sadly have a 2.9 gpa and a 500 mcat, but Im going ahead and applying to programs. Has anyone with stats similar to mine applied to SMPs and got accepted?

Hi All -

So I am currently a 5th year senior (Not URM) set to graduate this upcoming December with a Biology degree and Psych/Chem minors. I currently have a 2.4 GPA, and I am unsure of the science but I believe it is similar at this point. The first few years of college I didn't really care about as I...

So anxious it's literally raising my blood pressure these past few weeks i've been applying to the smps. I'm applying to 15 SMPs and 15 medical schools. I've gone back and forth with going ham on medical schools or just focus all of my energy on an SMP. Am I doing the right thing? should i even...

Hi all! I did not see a thread for this SMP so I decided to make one. I was accepted to this program and consider it one of my top choices, if not the top. Reading from previous years it seems that a large portion of the class matriculates directly into the University of Toledo Medical and Life...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for advise based on some raw numbers/information: I am a CA resident. I graduated college 4 years ago, have since worked as a medical scribe, in a clinic for the underserved, and had many volunteer/shadowing hours (have not had research work since my undergrad...

So, my GPA is 3.18 and sGPA is 2.95. I hadn't thought about medical school until about a year ago. Before that, I wasn't very motivated and didn't know which profession to pursue. I always liked science and was looking into pharmacy and dentistry as well didn't like either. Love the Hospital...

I am new to the SDN community so bare with me if this is not the right thread to post this in. I am currently a junior at a big state university with a cGPA of 2.85 and sGPA of 2.5. I know, this is atrocious but my grades are a reflection of difficulties adjusting to college from freshman year...

Hello! I am an undergrad student in my senior year right now and need different opinions on the next step I should take before applying to med school. My cGPA is 3.6 and my sGPA is around a 3.3-3.4. I have yet to take the GRE or MCAT. I am planning on taking the GRE general exam late this...

- Thanks!

Hi! I couldn't find a preexisting thread for Georgetown SMP 2018-2019 class applicants, so I thought I'd make one. I applied 10/14 and my application was marked complete 10/18. On Nov 1st I got an email saying my application was under review and I should receive a response in 2-3 weeks. My...

I posted something similar on the Pre-medical page but I think getting this could technically qualify beyond a traditional route. I graduated with a pretty abysmal 3.141 GPA, plenty of experience volunteering in local clinics and hospitals and having a charity event surrounding Providence St...

Thought I might start a thread for the BMS program. Anyone applying this year for the program?

Anyone applying this year?

Hello, I would much appreciate some advice on what I should currently do now in order to prepare for medical school applications - pursue a Postbac program or SMP? I went to UCLA and my sGPA is 3.3 and my cGPA is 3.5. I initially had a 3.8 sGPA and cGPA my first 1.5 years of college but...

I have read hundreds of blogs on here, including all that relate to this question. However I was hoping for more guidance. I am a biomedical engineering student starting senior year and will probably graduate w/ 3.2. I have strong EC (shadowing,research,etc). I was thinking it would be better...

Hey nontrads, long time lurker in need of advice. Just finished the Mississippi College SMP and want to narrow down options for apps and figure out what my best course of action is. Ugrad was a train wreck, 2.6 cgpa with multiple Ws and repeats. Went to top 60 STEM school in north east typical...

Hi everyone, I know its very late right now but I am desperately looking for a SMP for pre dental (possibly a postbac program). I know application deadlines are usually in early June or July, does anyone know if there are any programs that are accepting applications as of now? Or rolling...

So I finished my first year of college and it was a sh*tshow. I have a cumulative 2.77 due to the biomedical engineering major I tried to pursue (meaning harder chemistry calc based, and harder physics) and I completely screwed myself I suppose. I got C+ when they should've been B's in the...
