Hey all,
I am one year out of undergrad, and spent the last year at Wayne State University SOM completing 21 credits in their Basic Medical Sciences special masters program. The promise here is that completing 20 credits of masters work with >3.73 GPA makes you "competitive", replacing your old GPA, and gives you a tenuous linkage to their medical school.
While preparing my school list, I want to consider other schools that would look favorably on my masters coursework to the extent that Wayne State SOM claims they will-replace ugrad GPA, and consider me able to handle medschool course work.
I know Michigan State University College of Human Medicine (MD school) claims that if Non-Trads complete post-baccalaureate work in upper level sciences, the most recent 16 credits will be scrutinized and will serve to determine your academic potential.
I am looking of other schools like MSUCHM, that will honor my coursework this past year and consider it at least along side my undergrad GPA, or more hopefully, supplant it altogether like Wayne State SOM promises.
TL;DR: I want to compile a list of schools (MD/DO) that promise to replace your undergrad GPA with your SMP GPA, or at least hold it in high esteem, along with the specific requirements for these schools. Can you help me out?
