SMP GPA inquiry and likelihood of getting an MD acceptance

So I'm hoping to receive some advice in regards to this. I finished my SMP recently with a GPA of 3.62. I understand that many people around here state that in order to get into an MD school, you need to have a 3.7+ GPA. I'm not looking to get into Harvard or anything like that. I'm just hoping my state school as well as some of the local private medical schools and the ones that accept regional applicants like me show me some love.
My GPA was the result of me getting a B- in Gross Anatomy (mainly cause it was taught online due to COVID) as well as a B+ in a Physiology course. I received two A- and the rest A's. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely grateful that I was able to achieve a decent GPA. I'm just wondering, is my application basically screwed for MD schools because of the grade I got from Gross Anatomy? Would there be any leniency from some schools because COVID was a thing this past year and online classes for a course like gross anatomy might not be the best option to actually learn the material? Would med schools look at the other grades I got instead of just glaring at that one B- or is that too hard to ignore?

Getting an acceptance is 100% on you.

Chances for an MD interview are best with your state schools.


The b-minus grade does not define you as a human being newer is a measure of your self-worth. But know I don't think that you will get any slack because of covid, because I see people getting good grades online in anatomy despite covid.

Chances to become a doctor will be best with DO.

What was your uGPA and sGPA that caused you to take the SMP? Is there linkage between the SMP and a med school?
