It looks to me like the biggest problem is that not only did you not perform well in undergrad, but you're still not acing things in your SMP.After I finish my smp, my sGPA will still be under a 3.0 (we're talking 2.6 to 2.7). I have a rising trend in my gpa last two years of undergrad. Would it make sense to do a postbacc to raise that undergrad sGPA?
And if I do a postbacc and my postbacc gpa is higher than my SMP gpa, how would that look? I'm URM and haven't taken the MCAT yet. Thank you!
I have to be honest, you only get so many second chances. I would not worry about a hypothetical postbacc right now--focus on your next two semesters in your SMP and see if you can get into your host med school. With hard work you still have a shot, but you have no margin for error anymore.
