Hey guys,
So here's my concerns. I have recently been accepted to the Special Masters Program (SMP) for Midwestern University in Arizona. My undergraduate cumulative GPA is 3.42 and my science GPA is a 3.74. I have taken the MCAT twice. The first time was horrible and the second time wasn't that great either but an improvement...don't judge (PS7/VR4/BS6 = 17N to a PS10/VR6/BS6 = 22N). I will be attending Midwestern's program in the fall 2012. What I'm trying to understand is if this program will benefit me, GPA wise. Also, do I need to finish out the 9 month program and then apply to medical schools (meaning that I would have to wait until the next round and apply for the 2014 year) or, if I retake the exam before some MD cut offs this Nov.- Dec., can I apply to some decent schools (such as UT southwestern, U of Miami, and U of Nebraska) for the 2013 year?
Any advice would help!
