Assuming that undergrad GPA is lacking. I would assume one would need a very high MCAT to be associated with a good DO SMP GPA in order to be considered at an MD program.
 
Students from my own MS program have gotten into our state MD school, and schools on the East Coast. No, I can't name names.

EDIT: Grey already beat me to it, but one will need a great MCAT score as well as aceing the SMP in order to get into an MD school.


Do DO school based SMPs strengthen an application in regards to MD schools as well?
