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?
SMP, masters program, or postbacc?

Why do you think that you'll do better now?
the postbacc was two classes only. physics and biochem
is it a waste of time?

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.
so should I continue taking undergraduate classes and apply to smp ?

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)?
