Hey everyone, I recently applied in this past cycle (for entry in Fall of 2016) and did not get in. My stats were 3.23 cGPA, 3.02 sGPA, and a 503 on the MCAT. I know my numbers are weak, but I initially started college with a 2.7 the first three semesters and have had GPAs of 3.6 or higher for three of the past 4 (and on track to hopefully get a 3.9 to 4.0 for my final semester of college). In addition, I have a ton of medical experience, volunteering, etc. and a good "back-story" (born with rare bone disease called MHE, had cancer, started a foundation to combat my disease called the MHERF, etc.).

Since I did not make the cut this time around, I applied to master's programs and currently deciding between Tulane's 1 year MS in Anatomy, Drexel's MBS 2 yr program, and NYMC's 2 year Traditional track (and on waitlist for EVMS Medical Master's). Has anyone heard of any advantages of any of these programs/have any recommendations?

Any and all help/advice is appreciated. Thank you!
