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...

I recently took the GRE and scored 156Q and 156V. The graduate school masters program that I intend to apply to (University of Michigan), states that the minimum competitive GRE score is 160 Quantitative and 155 Verbal. Should I consider retaking the test, or apply with the score I currently...

Hello, during the first 2 years of undergrad, I didn't do as well as I should've due to family circumstances and me just not being well-adjusted to college. I'm trying to improve for my last 2 years in undergrad but have resigned to doing a post-bacc (Harvard?) or a SMP (Boston U). PLEASE, any...

So I need some direction as to what to do after graduation. I think my sGPA is too low and was planning on doing a post-bacc or SMP anyways to increase my chances of getting in. I know I definitely need improvement but I would like direction as to where. Cumulative GPA 3.35 AMCAS sGPA 3.26...

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...

Is there anyone in the world out there that did not totally rock an SMP but still found a way to gain admission into a US medical school? I'll spare everyone the details but I withdrew early from an SMP due to poor performance, have never taken MCAT or applied and I'm just trying to figure out...

Hi everyone, I am currently in a 1 year SMP and I got 2 B's this semester. My 4.0 dropped to a 3.6. I've very worried that schools will look at the badly. I can explain the drop because I was involved in a car accident in September that still causes me neck and back pain. Am I panicking for no...

Hello! I am CURRENTLY in a 1-year SMP, and would really like to get the ball rolling in terms of beginning medical school, or at least have a semi-guarantee that I'll be in medical school ASAP. That's where Temple comes in. I realize that Temple's program requires a 3.6 throughout the next...

Hello all, I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois and I'm majoring in economics. My cGPA and sGPA are each around 3.0. I'm graduating in a few weeks and these GPA's will likely be the the same. I think that I underestimated the amount of information on the MCAT and scored a...

- Thanks!

Thanks in advance for reading this. I feel a little lost and really need some help/input/opinions! I'll try to be short. Some background~ I grew up in poverty and was homeless my senior year of high school until very recently. My parents “disowned” me and kicked me out due to the fact that I...

Hi, I am a 25 year old graduate of the Biomedical Engineering program at UT - Austin. Recently, I have reconsidered my career path and am trying to best determine may path forward as I begin the application process for med school. My uGPA is a 3.34 I have not taken the MCAT. While I have...

For example, could a freshman do anything to be able to "already know" they're going to have to do a Post Bacc? Wouldn't it be ridiculous to do very well for the next 3 years but in order for medical schools to forgive 1 bad year you need that extra year of post-bacc?

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 was wondering if any of you could help me with the situation I am currently in. I took the MCAT in July and scored a 499. Knowing that with a 3.01 GPA and a 499 MCAT, my chances of gaining admittance into many medical schools is low I am planning on applying to an SMP and retaking the MCAT...

I am currently enrolled in a 1 year masters non-thesis and am taking 14 hours in this program. I need to take 16 hours next semester to graduate at the end of Spring 2018. The problem is the last class to fill the gap is posing a bit of a challenge... Option A: Microbial Physiology, professor...

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

Hi everyone! So I need help. I Need someone who would be willing to look at and edit my personal statement for SMP programs. Any feedback at all is welcome.

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...
