Hello all!
This last admissions cycle I didn't get into any med schools, in part because of my relatively subpar academic performance in undergrad. To work to rectify this, I am planning to pursue a master's program and am equally interested in three different programs: a two-year genetics, a two-year biostatistics, or a ten-month medical master's program. Do you have any input as to whether any of these might be viewed more or less favorably by an admissions committee with regards to strengthening my candidacy? I'm a bio major, have conducted genetics and cell bio research, and am potentially interested in finding a way to work either of the first two into my medical career. The third would largely be to strengthen me as a candidate and begin to prepare me for med school.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks for your time!
