reapplying after SMP

[GiveItAnotherGo]

hey, i just finished georgetown's program and i didn't get in this year. i started to reapply for next year's class. just wondering if anyone is in this same position. i figure it might be a good idea to post about the application process the year after smp and how it's different from the app process during smp.

in my case, i have my amcas verified and i've gotten a bunch of secondaries. i'm also thinking about taking a job as a lab technician at a hospital. the only thing i'm waiting on for my app is my letter of rec from my smp advisor (go figure). i really hope it doesn't delay my app too much - that would suck big time. anyway, this isn't just for people from georgetown. let's hear from you guys (unless, of course, i'm the only one!)

hey, no prob. i ended up doing very well in the program, finishing with just under a 3.7. i think the program was great preparation for med school. living in dc was a blast too. i feel like most of the people i was friends with got in. they advertise that about 50-60% of those applying during the smp year get in to med schools, but i would not be surprised if that figure was >60% this year. i'm not sure why things did not work out for me, but i'm very confident about my chances this year.
