GPA Trend: Existential crisis senior year when my gf got a full time offer paying 150k first year out of college… Got really jealous and lots of anxiety about being in so much debt. Realized that this was my passion and money is not what I truly care about and did SMP to double down on med school.

Depends on what support you are getting from the SMP. What feedback have you gotten from their faculty?

Not sure if this is what you're asking but I have a guaranteed II at a low tier MD up north based on contract with my SMP. My scores for that school are median % and they accept around 50% of II based on data I found online. I've been able to meet with the head of admissions at that MD school last October just to quickly glance over my app so I'm realllyyyyy banking on that school.

My SMP also has guaranteed II contracts with 2 DO and have sent many students to one school in particular the past few years.

Sorry if that's not what you mean by support. But thank you for your response!

Thank you for your reply! I will add these schools to my list.

I know everyone hates this question, but I gotta ask. Could you throw a random knee jerk % chance out there of me getting into any one of the schools on this list? I don't even care if it's accurate, just want to hear someone else's opinion other than my own. Your guess is likely better than mine.

Thank you!

You should receive DO interviews. MD is unpredictable.

I would focus on your linkage options; you need at least one safety option if you are trying to apply to other schools.

Your faculty will be your best advocates to these programs depending on how well you are doing. They also have institutional history knowing where students with similar records went for medical school. I'd give you a good chance with your in-state options because that's expected. Not leveraging your faculty's experience and support may result in an unfocused school list and thus a smaller chance for success. If you don't know if they are really leaning on you to take the linkage MD (if offered), that means something.
