DIY post-bacc part time or SMP?
Hi everyone, so a little bit background. I graduated with cGPA 3.38 and sGPA 3.34. Not very high due to working during school (25-35 hrs/week) and picking a major I do not enjoy so much. However, my grades for pre-req were very good with most As and some Bs, had 2 Cs but can attribute due to language problem (ESL).
I'm planning to med school next cycle 2027, currently working full time and preparing for MCAT. I had a lot of hours in ECs due to my job in clinical already, but my weakest part is the GPA.
Just want to plan out what I should do if I can't get into the cycle. Is it okay to do a part-time post bacc for upper div bio courses (genetics, anatomy, histology, etc.) with only 2-3 courses max per semester? Cost does become a concern since I can't afford a full time study schedule.
Or do a SMP? Loan is definitely something I need to do.
Hope you guys can have some insights to my problem.
