If your application transcript will demonstrate a year or more of excellent, full-time undergrad grades (including science), then it might be reasonable to apply when you're beginning the SMP. If that won't be true, then best to wait until all your SMP is completed before applying to med schools.Hi guys,
I'm applying to SMP programs and hope to finish it in one year. I want to apply to medical schools in June 2018 before I start the SMP so that I can go straight into medical school when my SMP ends. Would medical schools screen me for my low gpa (3.38 cgpa, 3.28 sgpa), though? How have people done this in the past? I'll send the medical schools I apply to all my grades from the SMP, but I'm worried they might not get to see them.
Also, is it much more beneficial to have grades from the entire year of SMP when I apply? For example, will it help me that much more if I send both Fall and Spring SMP grades to medical schools and apply a year later?
Any advice helps, thanks!
Some schools will. They have tons of applicants who made it through pre-med with high grades. They can afford to turn away reinventors.Hi guys,
