Is this advisable? What schools encourage you to apply to med school while you're in the SMP? Any people in a post-bac/SMP who have done this and want to give their thoughts? I'm wondering if it would be better to hold off on applying to med school until I've finished a year of SMP... but I just want to apply and see what happens instead of being scared of rejection. I have a 3.3GPA and 27MCAT(retaking in April). I have pretty good ECs, very good clinical experience, and am involved in research. I feel like if I can do better on the MCAT this April and do well at the beginning of SMP next year, I can save myself a glide year.
I remember reading that although while in SMP, you won't have your final class grades to send to med school, SMPs will send med schools your exam scores(relative to the med students) and that can be helpful in getting you interviews... is this true? Can any current SMP students confirm this and how helpful the exam scores were in getting you interviews to med school?
Thanks
