Oh. I didn't realize you two knew each other - I thought they were public. Seriously though, what is bad? Where do they offer these SM programs?

No she told me what she got last time. She said it on one of the old random threads. It wasn't horrible as she makes it out to be. it was not high when compared to crazy super genius SDN people. But it wasn't low either when compared to the minimum to get in an allopathic school in the states.

SMP = special masters program. This is a type of program where you do a 1 year masters program by taking the courses the med students take in their first year. At some SMP programs it is all the same courses that the MS I's take (USF is this way). At other SMP programs like BU or Georgetown it is a mix of some of the MS I year courses and other masters courses but not the whole curricula of MS year I at that school.

If you do well in such a program then it can greatly help your application when you are weak in academics. Nikki's in that sort of program. At the specific one she's at, if you do well you are supposed to be guaranteed an interview at that particular school. At least, I believe that's what she told me a long time ago.

Don't remember much about her particular SMP program. I only know a bit about Wakeforest, Georgetown, BU, and USF. Those are the ones I had looked into in the past.

Her score was not a 30 but it was very very close to 30, which leads me to question why she didn't get any interviews last year. I don't know if her MCAT score was really the cause of it. But then I don't know her full profile so I can't comment. But Nikki will be fine. I have a good feeling about it.

We :love: you too!!!!!!! You are going to kick butt and get in somewhere in the US in an allopathic program. I know you will!!! Second times the charm.

I have a childhood friend that did the Gtown SMP program last school year and got in on his 3rd try applying to med school. Not at Gtown, but elsewhere. 1 interview 1 acceptance off of a waitlist. So remember that miracles do happen!!! :love: :D

I have a friend who's average was 28 or 29 on practice tests with scoring 30 like maybe once or twice. She ended up with a 35R which was an 8 point increase from the second time she took it.

So it is possible.

Thanks for trying to keep some hope alive, guju. I just know my boundaries and i walked out of that test feeling like i did pretty mediocre. My practice test average was a 27 and ill be happy if i get that

PM me. i wonder if we know each other. I'll PM you my real name if you tell me yours. :p

Maybe we do already know each other or most likely each other's friends cuz I tend to know a lot of people on campus.

Well some are considered MA programs and others are MS programs. But yes some of them are 1 years and others are 2 years.

Some are considered non thesis masters programs and don't require research.

Umm, when I called the people at MCAT they told me scores are only updated from 9am - 9:30am. But you guys think they update until midnight? So you're saying it's not a psychiatric disorder for me to check every thirty minutes? Good to know.
