Hello. I have a few questions I need help with. I graduated with a Biomedical Science degree. I have a 3.456cGPA and 3.4 sGPA. I know my GPA is on the low end. I went to my pre med advisor and I believe I didn’t get much help.
I was in the process of applying to one year program master degree that includes 2 classes with medical students , but Idk if it’s too risky to do since you have to do very well in the program in order for it to help you with your application. My advisor told me that med schools don’t really care if you do a SMP or a DIY post bac as long as you show an upward trend. She also said that the cheaper option is to start a second undergrad degree and take some classes and show that I can handle Science classes and I don’t have to finish my degree.
I’m mostly concerned about my credits. I have 135 Undergrad credits total and 90 credits of them are in science classes. I was advised to do at least 30 credits ( 1 year) of upper level science classes to reach 3.5 and apply. I’m now preparing to take the MCAT and my goal is 515.
what would be my best option ?
