SMP

[doctor_dream]

I applied to MD programs in the previous cycle with 512 MCAT and 3.65 GPA but didn't have any luck. I am now accepted to Georgetown's SMP but was told that the program may risk bringing my GPA down. Would the SMP help my application in reapplying?

I would just retake the MCAT. You're within striking distance.

what exactly was holding you back this cycle? Did you apply too top heavy?

 

[Frogger27]

You have very little to gain from an SMP or mcat retake. I would focusing on other weak areas if your app and reapplying broadly. Your stats are not the issue

You have a 3.65 you are not the type that needs an SMP

what was your school list? did you get interviews?

 

[Turkishking]

Apply more broadly and I don't think your GPA is a big issue

 

[Hospitalized]

Something is wrong with your ECs, PS, LOR, school list or submission time if you didn't get accepted with your stats

What's your science GPA and MCAT breakdown?
