I was advised to take this year off after college to do a postbac program and so I am currently at UMDNJ-GSBS getting a Masters in a year. Scgpa 3.2 (bs neurosci, ba bio from brandeis university) MCAT 32Q so I'm obviously doing this to boost my gpa. I know it's terribly late to apply but would it be in my best interest to wait to have the grades from this program before applying? I was able to take the 1st yr biochem class w the md students and scored above avg on every test and now waiting for the bchm shelf exam results. Would I have a fighting chance at getting an interview if I applied today? I haven't submitted AMCAS due to my undergrad advisors recommendation so I need to know asap. Thank you in advance for your time

Even if you do get in (which is very unlikely with a 3.2 gpa and such a late app), the cycle will be very stressful and would most likely involve getting in off waitlists and such. Don't waste your time, money, and motivation by applying this year.

Agreed...It's October. Even if you had a 3.7 and 32, applying right now would most likely get you no where.

I agree with yor advisor that it would be pointless to apply at this time.
