Get me into med school. I have a 2.9 GPA, a 34 on the MCAT, a bachelor's in medicinal chemistry at Univ. of Missouri (minors in bio, med. physics, radioenvironmental sciences), a summer of working at a doctor's office, a summer research internship at Harvard Med School. I've been workingfull-time at a lab at Univ of Missouri Med School (probably 3-4 publications eventually) for hte last year and as a recovery technician at an eye bank (I take eyes from recently-deceased organ donors) since January.
What do I need to do to offset my bad GPA? I was planning on doing a master's in medical physics, but would I be better off with an SMP program? What are my odds if I do go the SMP route? Or can I even get into an SMP program with this GPA? Will any SMPs let me in for fall '07?
Also, does anybody know anything about the Harvard Health Careers Program?

Is it better/worse than an SMP for what I'm trying to do?
Thanks for your help!
