Here are my stats and ECs:
I applied to:
I had 3 interviews for DO schools and was wait listed at all 3 schools. I'm expecting to not get into these schools and am wondering what I can do if I take another year to reapply.
My applications for SMPs are complete but I haven't submitted them yet. I was wondering what you guys think I should do.
Option 1: Take a 9 month SMP and retake MCAT then apply.
Option 2: Take an EMT course and work as an EMT during my next 2 gap years while studying for the MCAT.
I think a masters in biomed science is overkill since its CRAZY expensive and my GPA isn't terrible...
Thank-you in advance.
