Can you do an SMP with direct linkage that doesn't require MCAT retake?My MCAT expires this cycle, so I’ll have to retake either way. I’ve applied for a scribe job in my city with hours that work will with my current job. Fingers crossed!
What did you think of your experience at your SMP through Georgetown?If you do an SMP make sure it is a good one like Georgetown. I did that one and wound up with 8 interviews (1 DO, 7 MD).

Do you have any dedicated shadowing hours? What about non clinical volunteering?If I don't get accepted anywhere this year, I'd really like to apply again ASAP. I have 2 IIs this cycle and got secondaries submitted mostly in September (whoops). These plans are made for the Spring of 2019 for a potential 2019/2020 re-app. Which plan seems better to you?
~About me~
1. sGPA/GPA: 3.38/3.52
2. Clinical volunteer hours, 150.
Clinical work hours: 520, but as an office administrator and lab tech.
3. MCAT: 512
4. Late applicant.
~Plan A~
1a. Would it look bad to do an informal post-bacc at a different state institution than my undergrad? If I move to my hometown, I can get significantly cheaper rent, but the school is not as well regarded. Not a community college, however.
1b. Should I bother? If I take 15hrs upper div science and get A's, my sGPA will be a 3.51 and my GPA will be a 3.56. Worth $4500 in the eyes of admissions?
2. Would part-time scribing help me here? I plan to continue volunteering.
3. MCAT --> 517. I think this is well within my range from other practice tests, I just had a bad test 3 years ago and have to retake it for another cycle anyway.
4. Pre-write things.
~Plan B~
SMP/Post-bacc for a year w/ linkages.
