SMP, masters program, or postbacc?

[poet9]

Taking the mcat in January, done with premed requirements, low cgpa, and biology major. I did a postbacc for one semester and didn't improve my cgpa/sgpa much. Should I apply for biology master at "easier college" or SMP like Touro or LECOM?

Don't do a non-SMP masters I can tell you that.

Why do you think that you'll do better now?

MD schools don't factor in their grades, die to grade inflation and the coursework nof being like med school classwork

Can you give actual numbers to us, please? Your questions are impossible to answer otherwise.

Yup

Yup

Thank you! Just one last question, would it make a huge difference/does it matter when applying to med schools if I take the classes in an "easier" college near where I live instead of traveling all the way to former undergrad school ( much better school)?
