Application Tips with Apply Point: Thinking about a special master's program (SMP) before applying to medical school?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
SMPs are for people who completed the pre-medical curriculum...but maybe could have done better. We also know of SMP applicants who had fine grades but were bad test takers and had low MCAT scores. Attending a SMP can show commitment to studying medicine and serve as proof that you’re a capable student.

These programs are also great for folks who simply feel underprepared for the medical school environment because SMPs offer a med school-esque experience. You might even take courses alongside medical students and be able to pick their brains.

Find out more about SMPs on our blog.
