I submitted my AMCAS primary application beginning of september. Is it too late to apply to MD schools this cycle and should I wait to beginning of next cycle? I was thinking that I'd apply this cycle (finishing up with my post-bacc, strong upward trend went from 2.86 GPA in my first undergrad to a 3.7 GPA) but some people told me its too late. Is that the case?
Also, is there stigma against reapplicants? If I submit this year and don't get in, but continue working on improving my application throughout the year (take some courses i did ****ty in, work in another lab, do some more hospital volunteering, try to get doctor shadowing), will it be sufficient improvement to answer the question 'how has your application improved'?
My post-bacc GPA is 3.7, 2017 MCAT 509 (125,126,130,128).
