Hello,
I realize there have been a few similar threads to this, but I was really hoping I can get some personal advice from you all.
I have currently been accepted to a few competitive SMP's (Georgetown, Boston MAMS, EVMS) and Post-Bacs (Penn, KGI). I was wondering if given my stats, you guys have any advice if I should side with the SMP or the Post-Bac route. Keep in mind the two Post-Bacs are "academic enhancers" specifically for students with a scientific background and a low GPA.
Here are my stats: 3.0 sGPA, 3.25 cGPA, 511 MCAT. Graduated from an ivy league in human biology, have tons of clinical experience, research, and great extracurriculars (was on a varsity team all four years).
Given these stats, what option do you think will be the best? A Post-Bacc will improve my low GPA, but doing well in an SMP might be enough to make med schools think twice. If you know about any of the programs, would you recommend them specifically due to my stats? Any advice is welcome. Thanks so much.
