Are you starting a career changer postbac this summer, meaning as of this point you have taken none of the prerequisites nor the MCAT?

And if so, are you asking if you should apply to medical school this summer without possessing any of the requirements for acceptance to medical school?

answer the above, also if you have already taken the mcat and pre-reqs, what are your stats (gpa, mcat), more info is needed to help answer...

what do you mean they wait on you? who waits on you? med schools? why would they wait on you?

With a 2.9 sGPA and cGPA you need an SMP not a postbac

i am doing a smp.. by wait i mean giving an interview.. i heard most schools wait to see ur grades to either reject or interview you.. therefore i am just asking when shud i send in my app.. july aug sept.. does it matter if i apply later since they will wait on my app to see my first semester grades.. guys please be constructive

We are being constructive...

I wouldn't send in an app this year, you are so far from being competitive that even if you got a 4.0 your first semester, it'd only be 1 semesters worth of great grades to try and repair your GPA.

You should take the glide year and apply with a years worth of great grades under your belt.
