Hey all,
I am a senior in college and would like to know your opinion advice regarding the upcoming year and application cycle: I was either thinking of enrolling in a smp or med school right away but I'm worried b/c of my stats currently:
1st mcat: 24O (all 8's), GPA: 3.69 cumulative, 3.31 science
(my gpa does not include this year, my senior year).
I am planning to retake the mcat in april, and so far my practice tests are 28, 30, and 31. I have 2 years worth of clinical experience, volunteering, and 2 semesters worth research.
Do you think smp will help or should I just apply to med school right away? I'm worried schools won't admit me b/c they'd look at my science gpa and think I can't handle the course load. I'm also worried because I transferred from a cc, and my gpa was really high there but I've gotten B's in most of the med school prereq's that I did at my U.
