I just graduated...

With a BMS and 2 minors. I recieved a 3.0 cumulative GPA with 11Ws and 2Fs and 1 D (grade forgiveness all 3 of these classes). The last year of schooling I received a 2.7, 3.89 and 3.38 GPA showing somewhat of a upward trend; all my withdrawals were during my first 3 years (took 5.5 years to graduate).

With all that said, I have yet to take my MCAT and I am wondering if there are any SMPs out there that accept students without an MCAT and this type of dismal record?

Also, I am aware I am late to apply, but I didn't bother applying around April when I first looked into Post-Bacc since I moved my MCAT date. So, are there any schools that accept this late or are in rolling, besides PCOM?

I appreciate the audit and advice.

As far as I know, most of the SMP requires either an MCAT or a GRE; and the deadline for most of them already passed. I would take the MCAT and do an additional year of non-formal post-bac (i.e. taking classes at your local university) just to improve your grade and keeping that upward trend.

If you do well on your MCAT this year 33+ you can apply to Med School next year while being in a formal SMP or Post-Bac. This way you do not waste time in the gap year that many SMP and Post-Bac students have to take.

Very pessimistic of you to think they will take me with my Grade history, but thanks for your advice i plan to take my MCAT very soon.

I'm confused, what do you mean?

Your GPA is ok for an SMP or Post-Bac, you'll have a hard time getting into the top notch programs but you should be competitive for quite a few. As globaltrader said, a high MCAT will certainly help you situation.
