I already applied to medical school, but I have not heard anything back yet (besides UC at AMC). I'm sitting at a 3.5 cGPA/sGPA and 33 MCAT, and I am not sure whether I should pursue a job (NIH IRTA) while taking evening classes or an SMP in my gap year. I heard that SMPs are fairly risky, but they seem like a good way for me to get in.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
