Sounds like a good plan to me. Strong work on the GPA trend. I would obviously try to do as well as humanly possible on the MCAT and see what your options look like at that point. Realistically, you could probably aim for an SMP with a linkage program to a medical school and have a very good chance of getting in with your upward trend. Good luck!

I think you are doing great on repairing your GPA through your current DIY post-bac and future SMP! just make sure your EC's continue to tell a similar story of evolution. I think you'll be a really strong applicant if you can manage to find some research/leadership experience.

You’re going to need to include DO programs when you eventually with or without an SMP. I agree that an SMP will help make you a more viable candidate for MD, but your going to need to apply broadly with DO schools. Even if you reside in an incredibly favorable state like NM, OK, KY, etc.
