Hi! I am currently a senior and with a 3.45 cGPA and a 3.2 sGPA and have yet to take the MCAT. I was a MA for 600 hours, around 900 hours of research, and only about 20 hours or so of volunteering. I am also a D3 athlete and for what it's worth I hold the title of inventor for a patented neurovascular medical device (I used to be an biomedical engineering major).

Since I switched over to pre-med end of sophomore year I'm still a little new to the whole application process but I understand that my GPA isn't where it needs to be so I am most likely going to be doing a post-bacc/SMP to try and raise it

I'm just a little lost on choosing which program is the best for me, I currently have acceptances to tufts and BU and have an interview for UCSD, if anyone has done any of these programs or has any insight I'd greatly appreciate it!
 
I really liked MAMS, and for what it's worth, I was one of the less smart people but faculty always encouraged me and were supportive about my odds of med school - my favorite thing about it. I should be graduating with a 3.6 this May.
