Stats:
Non-URM
3.35 GPA, 3.28 Science slight upward trend
35 MCAT (14P, 12B, 9V)
150 hours shadowing
300 hours hospital volunteering
2 summers of clinical research, no pubs
I am enrolled in a SMP program as well. I am doing quite well so far. Although we are only done with about 60% of the first semester, I am on pace to honors all the med school classes we take (top 10-15%). This would be equivalent to a 4.0 GPA.
I am applying to my state school and other SMP friendly lower tier schools (VCU, Drexel, etc,.) I have a good chance of getting in to the school that I am doing my SMP in, but I am curious how my app looks to other schools.
Also, although the semester is not over, should I sent schools a copy of my grades thus far as an update. Although not official, I imagine it would give them some indication of my academic capability. I can only provide schools with an official transcript in Jan and I am wary of waiting that long. Thanks for the help
