hi im currently doing international business but i have taken pre reqs for med except organic chemistry and biochemistry. Can any of you send me post bachs that will suit me? What other options do i have? My gpa is not that great. I have 2 semesters left at my uni. I want to do a mba and md program together. I would appreciate if someone could guide me.

Well Bach did die in 1750 so I suppose we're all living in the post-Bach era.

Have you considered looking into pre Bach? There are some interesting musical styles from that time too

@Zozo123 What is your current GPA? Also are you aiming for MD or DO or either?

@Dr. Stalker You win.

OP we really need a little more information, but to me it sounds like you may benefit from SMP since your major is a non-science. Proof that you can nail the SMP and the excuse that you didn't know you wanted to go into medicine until later may prove helpful. It's not a race, don't go jumping into anything until you have a clear plan.

all those Bach jokes made me LOL and it's even funnier that OP decided to ignore every single one of them!😆

Don't medical schools look at undergraduate gpa and weight them more than the masters level gpa?

You're right, a masters GPA in a science is generally not considered with the same weight as uGPA. However, SMP is different in that it's almost an audition for medical school. Finding a good one, preferably with a path to interview, is one way to prove that you can handle the intense rigor of science courses. You may be particularly well suited to benefit from one, because you're a non-science major. The angle on your application with a bad undergrad GPA and a great SMP GPA could be that you didn't know you wanted medicine until later, so you worked hard to prove yourself.

Keep in mind that MCAT still stands in your way, and that prep time is very important. The smart investment would be to study hard and take the MCAT so you know what score you're working with before you risk spending so much on an otherwise useless SMP. Also realize that it may take two or three years before you're applying, and you should also begin looking into extracurriculars like clinical exposure and nonclinical volunteering. Applications are much more than tests and statistics, and patience and dedication is absolutely required.

Perhaps the wise @Goro or @gonnif can give some more concise advice for moving forward?
