Hey guys,

I graduated college 2 years ago with a 2.89 cGPA. Yeah I know...horrible! Over the last two years I’ve been paying off student loans working as a teacher and feel I need to get back into school. I have been contemplating on whether to do an ordinary masters program or a SMP. My goal is medical school and know with my gpa, there is a long road ahead of me. Do you believe a SMP is the best route to go, an ordinary masters program or a DIY SMP. For those that may ask, I’m very serious in my undergrad life hit me very hard and my grades suffer, I went from a 3.8 cGPA to a 2.3 in my sophomore year.

Are there any schools that I could possible get into? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I would try to get that cGPA above 3.0 with a diy post-bacc. many SMPs require a 3.0 base line in cumulative and science gpa anyway. also SMPs are very expensive...post-bacc will allow you to pay as you go and make sure you are committed to the path. check out older posts from the wise Drmidlife. wishing you luck!!!
