Hello everyone I'm a senior graduating this year, but I"m interested in pursuing a postbacc or SMP for next year. I've taken the MCAT once and received a 503 and I'm studying hard and retaking it in January. My ccgpa is a 3.57, sgpa 3.5. I'm a PA state resident with 250+ hours of clinical volunteering, 100+ hours of shadowing, research publications and leadership positions. My pre-health advisor said I should wait to apply to postbaccs until I get my January MCAT score back ,but I"m afraid it will be too late. I"m looking into EVMS's 1 year MS, Georgetown's SMP, and Temple's ACMS postbacc program. Any guidance for people who applied would be great!

I think you can apply now but if you do well enough on your MCAT you might not need it.
