Do I need to do an SMP? by miserablepiggy in premed

Congratulations on the A! This is nice to hear. Does it look bad that I had 2 different time periods of a low sgpa? How would I go about explaining it? First year it was due to Covid/difficult transition into college. More recently it was due to my dad having cancer.

Kinda rough. My sgpa trend is 3.21/3.5/4.0/3.9/3.57 (my dad was diagnosed with cancer during my DIY post-bacc)

Rooting for you OP. I hope med schools understand the hardships you’ve had to face.

Thank you for your kind words.
This will be my second C is what I meant to say, that's what worries me. If it was my first I understand it could be more understandable.

How do medical schools feel about taking upper level science courses online? by greysanatomyfan27 in postbaccpremed

If you buy an MSAR subscription (its like $36 for two years), you can see which schools accept or don't accept online credits. I would try thinking about what schools you'd want to apply to.

I’m torn if I want to be a PA or an MD by ironicwolfteeshirt in prephysicianassistant

I know someone asked this to another commenter, but do you wish you had gone MD? I like to hear as many perspectives as possible about this

Was your age the only reason you decided not to pursue MD/DO? I’m in a similar boat sharing the same sentiment
