Can I get into UCinn SMP?

I have a 3.360 GPA (sGPA is basically the same if not marginally higher) and their average GPA is a 3.40 according to the director of the program; so basically the same. But my MCAT is a 503 when their average is a 511 and this worries me. They said a competitive applicant will have an MCAT greater than 504 but I dont think there's a substantial difference between 503 and 504.

I got waitlisted by Georgetown which had slightly lower standards for admission with a 3.3 GPA (slightly lower GPA than UCinn) but an average MCAT of 510.

Just a heads up that I will be taking the MCAT again either in December or April and this time I will have had actual practice tests instead of just 5 weeks of content crammed in there. When I apply to Medical Schools the 503 won't be my only MCAT they see.

I don’t think you’ll get into UCincy. You either have to have a high MCAT or GPA for the top SMPs

Just do your best on your MCAT retake and only take it when you are ready. If all goes well with your retake, you will have a shot depending on the rest of your application.
