I realize the whole "I have a low science gpa, am I going to get in?!" topic has been brought up a million times on SDN, but I think that my goals and aspirations might make my situation a little bit different. So basically my situation is that I just graduated from West Chester University with...

This is yet again another freshman with anxiety spiking towards the roof. I, unfortunately, have a horrid history when it comes to studying and not knowing how to take proper notes.

I am applying in the 2017-2018 cycle for dental school and I am a bit nervous I won't get in anywhere. I am new to this forum, but I was wondering if there are any other student-athletes out there that are applying/have applied and got in... Do they understand a slightly lower GPA? Here's...

If I can get my cGPA and sGPA to a 3.4-3.5 after a year/year and a half during a post bacc, would it still be worth it to do a SMP? Or should I just shine through with my ECs, and apply DO and "low tier"?

I'm making an MD school list that might be friendly to underdogs... I have made a DO list already because I'm more knowledgeable about their admissions. I spent the other day going through the new MSAR and selecting every school that has no minimum GPA, and/or low posted minimum GPA. I took the...
