I'm looking into ways on improving my GPA. i have a Low GPA ~3.3 sGPA and ~3.5 cGPA. MCAT 28. I am planning on improving my EC's this year while also retaking the MCAT, in preparation for reapplying MD and DO for the 2014-2015 cycle. My main question, would taking an SMP during application year benefit me if I were to do well? Or would my undergrad GPA still be frowned upon (particularly by MD schools), and thus I'd by wasting my money on doing it at all? My GPA is not good enough to get accepted into MD, but I don't know if its low enough (like below 3.0) to the point where an SMP would really benefit my application.
