Graduated this May with B.S. in Biochemistry
GPA trend is weird 3 semesters with a 2.6-2.7, 3 with 3.0-3.1 and 3 with 3.7-3.85
My last semester I took a decent amount of upper-level courses and did well. I got a B+ in Immunology though, and prereqs are mostly Bs. Didn't know I wanted to pursue medicine until my Senior year when I did take Immuno and found it invigorating me towards medicine. Right now just doing ECs and shadowing an MD near my home.
Specialties I'm interested in; oncology/hematology, cardiology, neurology and anything surgical related with either.
Because of the specialties I'm interested in I feel like I need to get into an allopathic school, so I was looking at a few SMPs that are within my traveling distance.
Temple ACMS
NYMC
Rutgers MBS
Drexel DPSM/Biomedical Studies
I know I need to do well in the MCAT and wouldn't want to waste to much time on rebuilding (aka another 3-4 years).
Studying for the GRE and then the MCAT.
Please recommend any other ones as well, or give insight to the ones I listed.
Apparently, the Rutgers SMP is infamous for not being nice to their MBS students, Temple's is very selective but for the other two, I don't much.
Drexel's seems like a good path but I'm not a URM, however, I am economically disadvantaged.\
EDIT: cGPA is a 3.256 and sGPA is a 3.056 Screwed up on a bio class that wasn't a pre-req (got a D) due to many reasons with the professor and partners I unfortunately had.
