WAMC/School list reapp - 511 MCAT, 3.6 gpa

[LeGoatMed]

I don't know how if I should do a SMP or try and apply early this upcoming cycle. My application this cycle was not complete until the end of September which I know is very late. It was due to my committee letter not being submitted until Sept 25 which might have killed my chances with a lot of schools I applied to.

Your GPA does not require an SMP to help your profile, though I would want to see what you took for your science

To me, it looks like you lack enough service orientation activities though you may have listed some... 250 hours at church doing...??? This may have contributed to your lack of success as most schools screen out candidates with fewer than 150 hours at submission.

What is the nature of your 250 hours of community service? Where were your 2 interviews and waitlist?
