No SMP, but what about other types of masters instead?

Is strong performance in masters degrees that are medical adjacent viewed favorably if you have a weaker ug? Is it school dependent? Or MD / DO dependent?

Thanks!

MDs don't care. DOs might care.

At my DO school, we don't care are MPH's, or non-science Master's degrees.

You need to show Adcoms that you can handle medical school.

Have you considered a second bachelors? DO combines graduate and undergraduate GPAs. MD keeps them separate.

I should have hahaha, honestly between an SMP/etc. masters/postbacc I could have benefited best from a second bachelors with science courses to enhance my cgpa and sgpa considering the amount of etc. graduate classes I’ve taken by now, but it’s been six years since undergrad and I didn’t exactly know what I was doing at that point also wasn’t ready to enter medicine at that point, plus life continues to happen outside of being premed, but am definitely ready as a hopeful applicant this cycle.
