If your MCAT is >508 you can do DO solidly. If your MCAT is >515 you can throw in quite a few MD and be considered competitive. The postbacc/SMP would be fantastic if you were >3.5 throughout it. Would def recommend that route.I am in a tough situation and I feel like I am in desperate need of reinvention. Graduated from Boston U with a 3.07 gpa (mostly due to low grades in the sciences and prereqs) Took upper level sciences my last year at Boston U and received 3.5 and 3.7 gpas for my last two semesters. I am currently studying and hoping to kill the MCAT. I applied to BU's MAMS program and just waiting to hear back from them, but I dont know how promising it sounds. I also applied to Northeastern's post bac- if anyone knows anything about it please let me know. I have 2 science courses left to take where I received a C-. Am i hopeless? Should i go through with Northeasterns post bac and apply to DO/MD? In need of honest advice.. I am also thinking of applying to the Caribbean- Why is it so awful? I know people who have successfully completed it and gained residencies. It also seems appealing to do Carribean because it will minimize the gap years. What should I do? thank you in advance i appreciate it
Just no.also thinking of applying to the Caribbean
Post-bacs/SMPs are a dime-a-dozen/ Do your research and find one right for you. Either the BU or the Northwester program will be fine.I am in a tough situation and I feel like I am in desperate need of reinvention.

Did you talk to them about their experiences and get their honest answers?I know people who have successfully completed it and gained residencies.
Haven't a clue. Worse they'll do is say no.Goro. Thank you so much for your honest advice. I will definitely take it. Do you think it might be worth giving a shot if I write BU MAMS a letter of interest (I just graduated from Boston University, applied to their program and on the 23rd of March and when asked for an update in April they said I wasn't an immediate yes or no and a decision is still being made)
