I applied to medical schools this cycle, and I am still waiting for decisions from many medical schools (I haven't got any II yet). So I am looking at other options, including SMP programs. I would like to wait till late November/early December to hear back from med schools. However, most of the SMP programs are already accepting applications and are rolling-admissions. I understand that it is better to apply early, but would it be too late to wait till December? Will my chances of admission to SMP be significantly reduced?
