Hello Everyone!
Last summer, I applied to medical school with a 3.65 cumulative GPA, 3.35 science GPA, and a 29 MCAT score. Unfortunately, in the fall of senior year, I lowered my 3.35 science GPA to a 3.18 after getting a C- in Biochem. I know that my science GPA probably has a lot to do with why I am having trouble getting into medical school, so I am working on devising a plan to address the weakness. Right now, I am strongly considering an SMP. I guess I'm wondering if such a program is geared toward someone with my academic profile or if I'm more suited to a post-bacc program. Or... are neither good options for me, and should I take a shot at something else to improve my application? I do plan on doing a one-year program and taking a year off for some additional experience to enhance my application (and get a break). Thanks in advance for your insights. I appreciate them!
