At what GPA is an SMP no longer necessary/helpful?

[numbersloth]

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?

The average GPA of people who are accepted is ~3.7. Your GPA is fine, and looks even better coupled with an upward trend. A strong MCAT would make you a competitive applicant. I personally think that an SMP is overkill for your situation and that if you're looking for something to do for two years, something like working in healthcare would look better.

Other options.

without seeing a detailed AMCAS GPA GRID showing your grade trends, I cant advise either way
