*~The SMP and Post-bac Stats Thread~*

[ssquared]

I have gotten a ton of PMs since I started posting on this forum asking me about my stats, when I applied, etc. Since I don't have the tech savvy to make anything like mdapps.com, we're going to have to settle for a thread. So let's help out our fellow applicants and post our acceptances, interviews, and rejections so we can compile some data on what these programs are looking for!

[postbacker]

Overall GPA: 3.63
BCPM: 3.65
MCAT: 20N
GRE: I forget....

Looks like your only major obstacle is MCAT...what do you expect to gain from this program?

 

[DrSumdae]

just disregard this post...i accidently hit send before i was done writing!

 

[DrSumdae]

The program is designed to help increase the MCAT score, which i need help with. Self study and prep courses don't work for me. Plus, I went to a small college that doesn't even have a pre-med committee and is not known for sending people to med school. Plus, I didn't decide on medicine until I was in college, so I've always known that I was going to find some kind of SMP or master's program. Drexel seems like a perfect fit for me.
So, stats wise, my MCAT is my only prob...and it s a major prob But, there are other things, too.
I'm so excited about this program!!

Good luck to all!!!
