Hello All!

Some background: I am currently in a MS biology program (thesis is focused on coronary artery disease). My undergrad record was very poor (cGPA 2.6; sGPA 2.8). Grad school GPA = 4.0. I am in my last semester of courses work. I will be completing my thesis next semester. In the past 3 semesters I have been able to accumulate ~200 hours of clinical volunteer experience and ~100 hours of non-clinical volunteer experience. I have shadowed both DOs and MDs. Throughout UG I was heavily involved in public health and clinical research.

The Question: Should I apply to med school immediately after my thesis-based masters (planning to finish this May)? Or, would a SMP/post-bac be better for me? In addition, would holding a thesis-based masters create an bias for MD or DO?

Thanks in advance!

I crept through your post history and I am confused. How are you in the 2nd year of your MS if you started it this year?
What is your MCAT? In one post you said it's 508 in another it's 507?

I'm just trying to understand where you're currently at in your redemption journey. Are you in a 1 yr MS program?
