Hey all,
New to sdn, thought I'd give this a shot because I've been researching for hours and I can't figure it out!! It seems like there is no easy way know what medical schools I'd have a chance for admission at given my non-traditional background.
The MSAR and all other resources only look at undergraduate GPA. So what do you do if you've done a Special Master's Program? How does that GPA factor in? i'm assuming both my cGPA and sGPA both still have to get past an initial screening which will vary by school... but what then?
For background, I graduated from UMich with a 3.2 cGPA and a 2.98 sGPA (major: molecular biology). Then I did Case Western's Medical Physiology SMP and got a 3.9 GPA.
Just took the MCAT and don't have the score back yet but my practice tests have been ~505. Extracurriculars are stellar.
Any advice would be super appreciated, thank you so much!!
