SMP Advice needed

Hello all, I am in need of some advice and would appreciate some input. I recently applied both MD/DO for the 2015 cycle and received one wait list but no acceptances. Instead of only reapplying I decided to fill this upcoming year with a SMP and so far I have been accepted to 3 programs with a few pending.

Acceptances: Tulane Medical school masters of Anatomy 1 year program
Tulane Medical school masters of Immunology/Microbiology 1 yr
William Carey (D.O.) MBS one year program

Pending: Drexel pathway to medical school program
Lincoln Memorial MS
VCOM post bacc program
Mercer MS preclinical sciences
Nova Southeastern MS

I am still on the waiting list at AZCOM and hoping that will work out and this will all be moot but if that is not the case, which of these programs do you think will provide the best chance for medical school? I am leaning heavily towards Tulanes MS in anatomy currently. Has anyone reading this been through any of these programs?

Also I have an interview with SABA medical school soon. Though the idea of a Caribbean school kind of stresses me out. I will go if that is my only option (as I currently work with a few Carib. Med grads in the ER in NY) but I would MUCH prefer to stay in the US for reasons of scary attrition rates and residency difficulties.

Thank you for taking the time to give me your thoughts and best of luck to anyone else out there working hard!

ALL of them, unless any of them are more research focused. I've had many students come from the Drexel program, and a few from Tulane.

This would be my first choice.

Throw this one into the toilet, unless you really like the idea of being unemployed and deeply in debt.
