So, I currently have a 3.4 cGPA and a 3.2 sGPA, but that includes 3 or 4 retakes. I'm a bio major and am graduating next semester. I took the MCAT and got a fairly balanced 29. I am going to apply broadly but I really AZCOM in part due to their location. I'm thinking about applying to AZCOM and/or Touro-NV's SMP, just to give me an edge in admissions and to pass the time, because the thought of working at my mundane job for another year, full time, is pretty depressing. I am currently shadowing and doing ER volunteer work (the latter I will have been doing for about 10 months when I apply). I guess I have three questions:
1) Should I even be looking at an SMP or am I competitive as is?
2) If I do an SMP, would schools prefer that I wait until I complete it to apply?
3) If I do apply when I start the SMP, would schools likely delay my app until they see my first semester grades?
Thanks for your input.
