I have a 3.5 cgpa and a 3.4 sgpa but a 3.2 DO sgpa. I have not taken the MCAT yet. I was considering enrolling in MCAT test prep programs. Realistically I'm assuming that my MCAT won't be great based on my bcpm GPA. I have 4 C's on my transcript all of which affect bcpm and 3 of which are prereqs. I also have W .
I'm a Texas resident which is even more concerning due to Texas medical schools preference for high GPAs.
I've read a little into SMP's and my only concern is the number of people who enroll in these programs and end up destroying their chance of medical school. I'm also financially disadvantaged so if I enroll in a program I'd have to take out 40k of loans. This is concerning because I'm already really poor (I live in a single parent household earning less than 20k a year). Currently, I'm looking at the UNT program. Does anyone know how difficult this is?
Should I do a postbacc or a SMP? What programs do you recommend?
What do you think of MCAT prep programs? Are there specific programs that you'd recommend?
Thank you for reading all of this and thank you for your advice and help!
