Hi, Goblue,
This is the thread for GT's SMP which is different from GT GEMS. You might get more help if you post in a GEMS thread. Here's the most recent link I found: Georgetown GEMS 2017-2018
Good luck!

Hey all,
I am considering applying to GEMS for the fall of 2018. Could anyone in the program now give me some advice on what it is like? Also, a rough idea of my chances at getting in to Georgetown Medical School after?
I am nervous because Georgetown is my top medical school, but I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket with this program. I currently attend the University of Michigan, I have a 3.2 sGPA and a 3.3 cGPA. I double majored in chemistry and neuroscience and have a minor in social work. I have tons of extracurriculars (including medical experiences) and positive recommendation letters. I also am hispanic (family from came in from venezuela, although my closest relatives currently live in Puerto Rico) and very socio-economically disadvantaged (which adds to my nervousness about this program because I have to be conscious about costs and I want to make sure its worth it). I have a 510 on the MCAT as well and am a Michigan resident. Would this program be a good idea for me? Or should I just apply to the normal MD program? I really would love to go to Georgetown, but I have read such mixed reviews on this program that I am not sure if it is worth it.
