Hey y'all, I'm confused.
I just graduated from a good college with a degree in Poli sci, an overall GPA of 3.31, and a BCPM of 2.76. I finally "got it" this summer and studied my butt off for the MCAT, bringing home a 38R at the end. I have some decent EC's and LOR's, and I'm trying to take a few classes here and there to bring my BCPM up to a "respectable" 3.0.
But now what? My advisor is very much pro Georgetown SMP, and I wanted to get some advice from some of my peers. I don't know if I should just keep taking undergrad classes to boost my GPA, or go whole hog and tackle said SMP. I feel that I'm motivated enough for the program, but I'm not entirely psyched to take out ~$31,000 in loans, as well as basically a "redshirt" year of med school.
Any help would be appreciated!
