smp

Hey guys So I am a senior at Stanford University and am in the process of applying to postbacs and special masters programs. Any recommendations as to which specific postbacs/smp to apply to? I haven't taken the MCAT yet but will be taking the GRE soon because many require it since I don't...

In April this year my school approved a Masters of Biomedical and Health Sciences Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (where the medical school is by the way). I applied, was accepted and classes started in June. Because this is the first cohort in the program, most of us in the...

So I'm currently verging on a C in biochemistry. It's not that I don't understand the material. I use Chad's videos as a supplement to the course and understand it perfectly there. But my professor is awful and the exams are ridiculous (taught more in the style of MCAT prep/crash course than...

The decision seems to be made case by case, so here's my situation: cGPA: 3.24 ( upward trend, my transcript shows that I really busted my ass during senior year) sGPA: 3.0 My biggest concern is to meet the general prerequisites. I've got consistent B/B+ in the chemistries/ physics, and As in...

Greetings, all. I'm a recent college grad, and I plan on taking two years off to improve my application. My original plan was to take about 25 credits science classes to boost sGPA and cGPA and get a 510+ on MCAT, and apply in June 2016 for a spot in med school. I realized that I may need...

SMPs generally have Feb deadlines for application submission, and from what I recall, there are rolling admissions. Would it be better ton apply later in the cycle and make your application more competitive or apply early with a weak application? Also, would it be better to apply to an...

Currently retaking courses to get science GPA to 3.0 (from 2.73, but with no failing grades). What is a comfortable minimum science GPA? My plan is to get sGPA up to 3.0, then apply for SMP. I'm also thinking about just maybe retaking more science classes to get it higher (3.3+) since I'm...

Hello, I am looking to apply to SMP programs to boost my undergrad GPA. I graduated with a 4.0 in my major Neuro courses but the rest of my science/pre-med coursework makes me look a little bipolar. I had a lot going on during different undergrad semesters relating to health and family issues...

Can anyone taking an SMP tell me more about their experiences? For example, the rigor of courses, how to study for med courses, tuition, med schools that they'll apply to, and overall experience. Thanks.

Hi, all. I'm a recent graduate with a BA in biological sciences, and unfortunately a very low GPA (cGPA: 3.04 and sGPA: 2.73). I never failed any classes, but I did the worst senior year (b/c of financial problems and my mother in the ICU before an upper level bio class final, which I failed)...

Quick question. With a 3.63 cGPA, significant upward trend, and an mcat yet to be written (hopefully high). Some heavy research and volunteering. Which would you choose for a 2 year gap period ? A) a 1.5 year master of science in human biology at the University of Zurich in Switzerland (ranked...

Hi everyone! I'm currently in my 5th year of undergrad (Psych major) and I am graduating in May 2016. It has definitely been a difficult road for me through undergrad. For the first three years of my undergrad career I was pre-med and took the required courses but did not finish- I dropped...
