I have a 3.45 uGPA and 3.78 SMP GPA. What GPA do I use in WARS?
MCAT is 517
Use the SMP GPA.

The caveat is that not all schools reward reinvention. Target these:

Columbia

Vandy

Dartmouth

BU

Duke

Pitt

Mayo

Mt Sinai

Keck (maybe)

Temple (maybe)

UCSF

EVMS

Hofstra

Emory

Jefferson

Drexel

Albany

Tufts

NYMC

TCU/UNT

Your state schools

Rush

Loyola

Rosy Franklin

Tulane

Wake

MCW

SLU

Creighton

Wayne State

Netter

NovaMD

NYU.LI

Any DO program. Include UNECOM if you’re from the NE, OSUCOM if you’re from the Plains states and PacNW if you’re from that region. I can't recommend ARCOM, RVU, Nova, BCOM, ICOM and LUCOM, for different reasons. MSUCOM? Read up on Larry Nasser and you decide. LMU has an accreditation warning, which concerns me. CUHS is too new and appears to be too limited in rotations sites. Avoid those new schools that haven't graduated a class yet, if at all possible.
