Hi SDN, I'm a Canadian with an AMCAS cGPA of 3.6 and an sGPA of 3.1, neither of which I believe are high enough as an international applicant to US med schools. I understand that most SMP applicants have lower numbers, but would it make sense for me to do an SMP? I contacted Georgetown, my...

So to put things short -- I am facing a future with many different paths and was looking for some input. I am currently in the midst of the 2019-2020 cycle. I applied to all of the TMDSAS schools (including TCOM) early, have submitted all of my secondaries, and am currently waiting for...

Hi everyone! I was hoping to gain some feedback regarding SMP programs. I browse enough threads on here and figured it was just time I posted my own. I currently have a undergrad + post bacc cGPA of 3.1 as per the aamc scale. I am hoping to have a 3.14 by the end of the fall sem and a 3.18 at...

Hi everyone! I am a 28 year old female interested in becoming a physician. I would greatly appreciate any feedback or advice on my strength as a candidate, if I need to do an SMP or post-bacc, etc. I graduated in 2014 with a BS in Biochemistry and minor in biology. My GPA is poor: cGPA is 3.25...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this and I know this question has been asked before but it seems like people sometimes give good advice or have points I myself would have never thought of so I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to see what you all think. TLDR at the bottom. My Background: I graduated...

So I’ve been a lurker here but I was hoping to get a few questions clarified. I did my undergrad at a research heavy uni (UCD) ~sgpa 2.9, cgpa 3.2) and now finishing up my 1 year formal post bac at a state university which I did well in. Now I’m looking at SMP and considering if I should do one...

Anyone been accepted or applied this year?

Hey everybody! First I want to say I really appreciate anytime you put in to reading/ replying to my post. Thank you in advance. I'm not asking about my chances per se, just looking for advice: SMP or informal local Postbacc. (BTW i’ve read EVERYTHING about my position here on SDN), but here’s a...

Hey all, New to sdn, thought I'd give this a shot because I've been researching for hours and I can't figure it out!! It seems like there is no easy way know what medical schools I'd have a chance for admission at given my non-traditional background. The MSAR and all other resources only look...

Hello! I just applied and have been granted an interview for the MBS program at CUSM. Anyone else currently applying or in the program?

Hello Everyone, Has anyone here received an acceptance yet? I have my interview next week and I'm feeling nervous. I applied MD/DO and I didn't receive any interviews probably due to my low science GPA (3.2) but I'm really liking what I've seen about this program. Any advice for the...

So to ask my question in a way it makes sense.... I have heard by a moderator on SDN that if you were accepted to a DO school (example) and declined the acceptance, you would then be blacklisted by all other DO schools. My question is- Would DO schools look down upon an applicant that was...

Does anyone have any info on how good this program is or been through this program? Thanks.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could make opinions or comments on the following SMPs and which one they would recommend. If a medical student from the program could comment or PM me, that would be great too! My GPAs so far... cGPA: 3.5 sGPA: 3.4 MCAT: Not taken yet... Rosalind Franklin...

I wanted to make this thread to give anyone thinking of coming to Marian's MBS program a chance to know the truth beforehand. Overall: Would I recommend the program to anyone? No. I attended Marian's BMS program, like many students in the class, to better prepare my application for medical...

Hello, I'm a fairly new poster so let me get right to it... Some SMPs such as Toledo want a 500 MCAT to be accepted into the program which has a great matriculation rate as stated as "65-80%". My question is what happens if a DO school offers an acceptance but so does Toledo SMP? Should you...

Hello all, I'm pretty new to sdn but I really like the community and a lot of you seem to be very knowledgeable about these topics. Right now I find myself in a predicament with respect to applying to schools, and I wanted to see what my best options are. I'll just give my stats straight away...

Hello, first time poster, long time stalker.. I was wondering if anyone had any insight on Marian University's Biomedical Science Program? I can't seem to find a post about the MBS program. Can someone discuss if they are enjoying the program and the more about it? Thanks.

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...

Hi all! Haven't seen this thread so I thought I would start it off. I Just accepted my offer and am pretty excited about it! Are there any current or former students that can provide some advice? :)

Hi All, I am currently in a one-year, 37-credit SMP at a new DO school (3rd cycle coming up) in Texas. I had moved to the area due to a military partner and was hoping to pursue medical education again after 3 years out of school. I found out the medical school I was interested in had a...

It was a tough decision whether or not to do a post-bac or SMP. I will graduate soon with a Biochem degree with 3.0 gpa and 3.0 sgpa. 508 MCAT. Obviously not very good, I'm going to retake MCAT. I was accepted to Georgetown, Tufts and Tulane SMP. Still waiting to hear from Boston University and...
