I know there are many 'what are my chances' threads, but I would like to know which program/programs would be the most benefical for me (such as the Georgetown SMP, Master's programs in the sciences, or post- bac studies). I go to a private university that is pretty just known in my home state, and would like to go the out-of state private route. I know that I need to do SOMETHING within the next year to improve my credentials.
Here are some of my strong points and weak points:
Strong Points to my Application
1. Very involved in university organizations, volunteer organizations, and mentoring
2. Summer Program in Biomedical Sciences at Duke University SOM
3. Summer Program at UT Houston SOM with a preceptorship in a Family Medicine Clinic
4. Worked 3 years (during school) as a Health Unit Coordinator at a teaching hospital
5. Great LOR's
Weak Points to my Application
1. GPA and BCPM GPA of ~3.15 (still have a year to increase it)
2. MCAT sub 30
3. No research
I graduate this coming May, and would like to determine what I should do the following year before school starts. Since I know MANY of you out there have background about such programs, I hope you will be as informative as you can!
Thank you!
