Hi,
I am currently a senior finishing up my undergrad. I will most likely graduate with a 3.4 something and as of now I have a 25N on my MCAT (PS 11, VR 8, BS 6). I plan on retaking my MCAT this January in hopes of applying for a post bac/SMP.
I am from Ohio and I feel i have good ECs and rec letters but as I have learned its a numbers game. I know I have to get that MCAT up to atleast 29 to have a shot at anything.
My question is being from Ohio, I know there is a program in Toledo, OSU, Cleveland State and UC. The OSU one is for disadvantaged students which I am not sure i qualify for.
I was looking at the GPA enhancing programs stickied at the top. I've been going through the list and all the websites. That list has me completely overwhelmed.
My question is, what are my chances to get into a SMP/Post Bac program on that expansive list.
I was able to rule out Columbia Nutrition, Dartmouth, VCOM, Georgetown and Marshall based on length and scores.
Which programs have a strong in-state preference. Is it even worth applying to the ones in Florida such as Barry, FAU & USF. How about the New York ones?
Also how is Drexel, IUPUI, Loyola when it comes to accepting students from Ohio.
Do I even have a shot at a real SMP/Post bac this year. What should I be doing right now. Any advice is appreciated.
