smp

Hi everyone, I've received 2 rejections and no II so far so I would like to start planning ahead and thinking of gap year ideas... 3.42 cGPA/3.4 sGPA (hoping these will be ~3.5 when I graduate). 508 MCAT. I'm worried about my gpa so I was thinking of doing a post-bacc. What are the best programs...

hi guys! first of all thank you for reading this and helping me out! I struggled my last two years of high school (dual credit program) and first two years of college so my GPA tanked completely. I have many F's, D's, C's, and 3 W's. (Gen Chem, bio, and Ochem have F's) I was going through...

I feel like the purpose of SMP is to show that you could thrive in med-school level courses. I have a very strong upward trend where I started out with a 2.3 sgpa and probably will end with a 3.3 sgpa. Basically, my last two years of college shows huge growth since my earlier two years. Would...

I have a question and trying to get some advice. I graduated college about 2 years ago from a top university. I now realize I made the wrong choice in careers. However, my first and second year of college I took some premed courses Chemistry(C,B), organic chemistry(C+,B), and biology (B+,B) and...

So I am currently in a Masters program thats affiliated with a medical school. I am about one month into the program and have received an acceptance to another medical school. My question is can i drop my current Masters program without the school I was accepted into from finding out? I never...

Hello all! Would it be possible for anyone to weigh in on my timeline for application? I am working with my pre-health adviser, and with his guidance I have formulated this plan. Any and all advice is hugely appreciated! I am a non-traditional student planning on applying to SMP's this...

I have a pretty steady upward trend from a rocky beginning to college and am looking like I'll graduate with ~ a 3.5 - 3.6 cGPA and sGPA. Should I still be considering SMP programs or should I be looking at other options during my two gap years?

Hello everyone, I am a senior close to graduation (I have not graduated, yet) with about a 3.3 uGPA overall and have completed ~145 credit hours (some were AP classes, which seem to still count toward my total credits according to AMCAS). I would like to know your opinions regarding whether it...

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...

My dream medical school is Georgetown. I'm looking to apply to either the SMP or the GEMS program and will likely apply to both, but I'm wondering if anyone who was involved in/know of first-hand information about the two programs and their chances of matriculating to Georgetown can give...

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...

I have cGPA 3.50 and sGPA 3.41 with new MCAT score of 516. I got into Tufts MBS program but I am still uncertain on whether this would help me. I would like any advise on whether this SMP is worth it for me. I personally want to get into mid-tier school (like George Washington). Is that...

I'm in a dilemma between selecting an SMP (Loyola MSMP) or taking classes at Northwestern University through their evening certificate program. I'm very low-income and it would be a big burden to take out that almost $50,000 loan for the SMP. Plus, I currently work in a local healthcare job...

This thread has been posted before with little avail to Kingelyk, but I have to ask again. Is anyone familiar with Larkin's Master program? I plan on utilizing it to improve my Med School chances, but as a fairly new program I have to be suspicious about its legitimacy. I know the Pharmacy...

Hi can someone give me some information on a DIY post bacc. My current cGPA is 3.4 and my sGPA is a 2.89. I am going into my junior year and I know that at this point As are essential. But at this point I am aware that I will need to do a post bacc or SMP. So can someone give me some info on how...

I'm curious about the University of Vermont's Master of Medical Science degree. Has anyone attended that can comment on it? It seems fairly new.

I might be jumping the gun on this because I'm still on four waitlists and it's possible I'll be accepted this year...but I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong. Stats: MCAT 504, cGPA 3.4 sGPA 3.36. I had a strong upward GPA trend and made Dean's List in my final semester. 6...

Hi everyone! I've been accepted into these 3 SMP/academic enhancer programs and I really need some help deciding which program to attend, if anyone (especially individuals attending/have attended) would be able to offer some insight into your experiences and knowledge (at your earliest...

Hello guys for people who did the program what is the main difference between the two? I went to the Newark MBS page but cannot find a curriculum, on the other hand Piscataway seem to tailor their classes the same as RWJMS`s classes. I live in NY (one of the boroughs) so Newark is better...

Nontrad here. My projected graduation date is 2020, and with all my courses plotted out, thanks to horrific grades from 2009-2012, I've calculated that my GPA will be about a 3.2c/3.5s with a massive upward trend. (DO sGPA would be higher, about 3.8.) The thing is, I have so many credits that...

Hi there guys. First thread. Tried to search through previous forums but some new policies have changed so haven't seen anything updated. I have a 2.9 sGPA, 3.1 cGPA. Taking the MCAT in July. I'm really intent on either MD or DO. I was actually relying on DO's grade forgiveness policy but...

I am a Canadian entering my final year of my undergraduate studies (and I'm taking a Gap year), However, my extracurriculars are lacking. Throughout my undergrad i have had problems applying myself and building a strong resume. The only research i have was volunteering in a lab over the summer...

If I can get my cGPA and sGPA to a 3.4-3.5 after a year/year and a half during a post bacc, would it still be worth it to do a SMP? Or should I just shine through with my ECs, and apply DO and "low tier"?

Hello, I graduated last year with a cgpa:3.01. My science gpa is around 2.77 and I'm predental. My DAT score is 19. My application as a whole is pretty good as I have work experience and volounteer work. My question is what are my chances in getting accepted to a one year special masters...

So I'm a junior in undergrad who has just recently decided to go for medical school, so I'm a little behind. I'm interested in MD and DO, and know I won't be applying for at least 2 or 3 years. I actually have solid extra curriculars and volunteer experience that I can build upon, so I know...

Hi all, I recently graduated from an Ivy League school with a 3.63 cGPA and 3.1 sGPA. All of my science pre-reqs were Bs or B+s, so should I retake them all in a DIY postbac and gun for As, or instead take upper level undergraduate classes in biology? I'm confident that I can get good grades...

Hey all. Trying to get a grasp on SMP/master's ideas before I come close to graduation. I know traditional SMPs are akin to the first year of M-1 curriculum, and other master's in medical science/biomed/physiology are also popular, but is there any truth to my thinking that it would be better...

I applied to MD programs in the previous cycle with 512 MCAT and 3.65 GPA but didn't have any luck. I am now accepted to Georgetown's SMP but was told that the program may risk bringing my GPA down. Would the SMP help my application in reapplying?

Hello all, I am a senior graduating this semester and I'm planning to take a gap year (or two) to make myself more competitive. My plan is to apply to both MD and DO. I haven't taken the MCAT but I am registered to take in in June. I've gotten okay scores in my first two practice exams. Below...

I graduated from College in May 2016, and sent in my applications to MD/DO schools this summer and did not get interviews anywhere. (I sent primaries in mid-August because I could not financially afford to send them in any sooner). I have been spending this past year shadowing physicians and...
