Damn! Honestly youâre the best advisor Iâve seen so far lol. And Iâve seen quite a few videos on youtube
Lol thanks. Happy to help.
thank you for this!!!
Youâre welcome
Love it; thank you for this advice and all your advice!! I have started seeing that from researching these programs and I wonder why these people want to waste more time and money if they already have these types of stats.
Exactly
I graduated from my SMP w/ a 3.87 and a 508 MCAT. Got waitlisted after the "Linkage" Interview. Im now applying to around 20 MD schools and hoping to get in somewhere.
Good luck
UPDATE?!?!?!!?
You should talk about low mcat solutions
Hey Michael, Here in US Med schools, I understand your point in stressing out in getting good GPA and MCAT scores for being Canadians, What about activities do you need, Being a Canadian and studying PreMed in US already.
The extracurriculars youâll need are patient care experience, volunteering, leadership, and research if youâre interested in that.
I donât understand why you think this. I want to get into medical school and I am Incredibly passionate. However, in compiling information about programs, most of the average GPAs are 3.7, 3.6 minimum. How am I with a 3.3-3.4 gpa supposed to get in with that? I feel like I canât do anything but attempt an SMP. I feel like thereâs no way I could make it into even a DO program. Iâm planning on taking the mcat this summer
If your science gpa is a 3.4 and you get a good mcat then you have a shot. Keep in mind the most of the time these numbers are just averages. They take people below and above them.
How do you accurately calculate your gpa as the medical school would? Iâm wondering where I stand. Iâm almost finished with my bachelors program, and my bachelors program gpa is currently 4.0. My associates degree is in nursing, so will they use my nursing courses as part of my science gpa? I donât want to take a special masters program if I donât need to.
Youâll have a cumulative gpa and a science gpa. You science gpa consists of all science classes youâve taken as an undergrad student including math. If youâd like some more personalized help feel free to come talk to me through Facebook.
Unless you did absolutely terrible in the SMP, I would never advise anyone go the Carribean route, and n=1 for your example. However, the carribean attrition rates currently hover around 40-50% with even more abysmal match rates for students trying to match in the U.S. if someone did bad on their SMP, they would do worse at a Carribean Medical school. I would really caution anyone taking this advice specifically. If your MCAT is what hurt you retake the MCAT. If your GPA is still low, but you did well in your SMP, reach out to schools for advising. You would be surprised how many other pathways there are to medical school!
Bro if my cGPA is 3.1 but my sGPA is 3.3 and MCAT will be at least 505 (I took AAMC FL1 today and got a 505), do you think I could get straight into DO school? If it helps, I'm a URM
Itâs definitely possible. But honestly the admissions process is a crap shoot so it always takes a good amount of luck.
Can I go to a DO school's post-bacc or special masters program and then go on to attend an MD school?
Absolutely
What if you have a very good mcat score but a below 3.0 gpa? Will these programs still consider you or do you think it's not worth applying?
Most of them have a min gpa of 3.0. Youâll have to check their mcat stats and maybe contact admissions.
For anyone curious, I emailed some of the MD admissions and they are willing to consider your app if you have an exceptional mcat score!
Im the opposite. Good gpa but 3 points below the MCAT score cutoff of 493.
Hey Michael, should I consider SMP if my MCAT is low? I have a 3.88 GPA and my sGPA is 3.6. The only blaring issue in my application is my MCAT score.
Only as a last resort. Retake the mcat first.
@@ERdoctorMike I have taken the MCAT 3 times and the highest I got was a 495
Id apply to Med school and see if you can get lucky. I offer advising through my Facebook page Med School Mentor if you want to discuss this more.
Same boat my man. Same boat. But I heard straight from the coordinator that if you have both a good gpa and science gpa then your in. This is from the USF SMP program that I applied.
Apply here to the USF one. Its the cheapest and their MCAT is 493. Dude we can be study buddies if you get in.
Pls do Special masters program provide clinical experience for students?
The do not. You need all of that before applying
Duke University SMP provides clinical experience for their students as part of their program.
.
I would say it depends on the program, and it depends on how you define âproviding clinical experience.â Iâd venture to say that most SMPs donât have clinical experience directly incorporated in their coursework, but the SMP Iâm in has close relationships with several departments in our main hospital, so we can reach out to them and have preference in terms of shadowing opportunities.
