Thank you for taking the time to look my post. I appreciate any input into helping with my school list. I have used a combination of WedgeDawg, Lizzy M, and the MSAR report to decide on MD schools. I will also be applying to DO schools at a later point, as an MD re-applicant. My application is...
Hello,
So I'm currently having a mental breakdown because I think I majorly screwed up my chances for med school. I graduated with a BA in Biochemistry and BS in Molecular & Cellular Biology. I graduated early, in 3 years instead of 4 (most people advised me to graduate rather than stay.) My...
Hi all, wondering what my chances are here for getting into either a DO or MD school. Im a virginia native, my undergrad gpa was a 3.2 with a science gpa probably slightly lower than a 3.2. I recently finished a post bacc program that I was thought I was ready for but was not as I did my...
Hello everyone! I am going to be a Junior in the Fall and will be taking Biochem I. At the college I attend, Biochem I is one of the toughest classes haha. I was wondering what advice you guys have for studying Biochem? Those of you that did well in it, what should I go in expecting? Lots of...
So I'll be able to graduate a semester early once I complete the Fall 2018 semester. Assuming I get all A's I'll graduate with ~3.56 cGPA of 129 credits. If I take an extra semester full-time of 12 credits, I can graduate with a 3.6 cGPA of 141credits. The grades that lowered my GPA are a D (3...
Greetings Friends,
I would like to ask for some insight regarding some questions I have about being an applied epidemiologist and the various educational routes that lead to this kind of position. Working at the CDC EIS seems to be the dream for this line of work. (See CDC's side about epi...
I was accepted to an md program off the waitlist at a school I really don't want to go to (for a lot of reasons, location, school, ect.). I know, looking back, that I should not have applied there, but I can not go back and undo it and now I am accepted. As a backup plan while waiting to hear...
Hi there! I just recently finished up my undergrad degree in biology and need some advice. I had a very shaky start during my freshman year and I ended up with a cumulative gpa of 2.45 with a science gpa of a 2.00. After doing some soul searching and reevaluating my study habits, I decided that...

Hello all!! I am new to this forum and could use some insight. So I just completed my first year of undergrad as a pre med student and it did not go as well as I wanted it to. I have a 3.2 GPA right now. I got C’s in both Gen Chem I and Gen Chem II. I also got a C+ in Applied Calculus. I feel...

I will be a junior in the Fall taking these courses:
Genetics - 4
Biochemistry I - 3
Genetics Lab - 3
3 credits of research (not for a class, or even for a grade)

Would this look weird? It would still equate to 16 credits, but would it...

OK so... I took a Stats lab course and at the college I attend the course is labeled STA L. But it’s in the psychology department at the college I attend... so does it count? It’s one credit
Also, for some psych courses the course code is PSB... does this count? And PCB is for genetics. Does...
Hi Everyone!
I'm a long time lurker on SDN and am currently on four waitlists this cycle. I realize that the chances of getting in this year are very slim and I am prepared to re-apply for a second time (third time applicant). A little background about my app. Applied the first time with a 505...
I am a 2017 graduate from UCD, political science major with 3.88 sGPA
I have recently decided to take a second gap year due to some health issues. I could have applied this cycle, but it may have been in a somewhat haphazard fashion that it is possible to see regretting, with my burning only...
Hey Guys,
I am a high school graduate that also completed my Associate in Arts degree, does anyone have any suggestions for activities that can boost my resume as a pre-med student? I am planning to shadow a physician, but I'm sure other opportunities may aid my application.
So far on my resume...
hi, I am hoping to get some feedback about how good or bad of shape I’m in in terms of setting myself up to get into med school. I have just finished my sophomore year of undergrad. I have attended a community college for my first two years. Now that that is done, I will be going to a local...
My premed comittee won’t interview me until August, though they interviewed other people this past week. I am a weaker candidate academically 3.24 cgpa 3.27sgpa 509 mcat. Will a mid To late August letter really hurt my chances? Assuming all my secondaries are finished.
If TLDR: refer to bolded for quick skim..
I do not want to come off as entitled. I do believe that income/background disclosures have a place on the primary application so as to benefit URM populations. What I oppose is their disclosure being (arguably) mandatory.

What do you y'all think are my chances at getting in? Any input's appreciated, I need all the advice I can get!!!
I'm a re-app, but my stats haven't changed too much. 3.53 cGPA and 3.41 sGPA with a downward trend, save for the last few classes I took in undergrad and a class I took for fun a...
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up an excel sheet for myself so I can tell which DO programs I could realistically get into. I'm having trouble, however, as most of the schools' websites post the minimum GPA & MCAT scores needed to get in, not the average accepted scores.
Does anyone know if there...

Hi guys,
I've done my fair share of lurking and research about this topic but i think my situation is unique enough to not apply to the other posts. Im currently a senior graduating in a couple of weeks and have decided to go MD instead of PA . My situation is that I need to take a gap year to...
I am considering using Kaplan plus to learn Biochemistry for the MCAT and not take the class.
The reason is that Im planning to take the MCAT the summer of my 2nd year of college and don't have room for Biochem at the moment (Genchem 1 & 2, and Orgo 1 & 2 are preq and that be 2 years worth )...
I've spent days going through this website seeing if I can even get in anywhere and let me just tell you its a rollercoaster of emotions. There are people with high GPA/high mcat that don't even get into DO schools and other people that get into all of them. I don't even know how to begin...
Hello all!
I am a re-applicant this coming cycle and I wondered if you could give me an assessment of my chances for getting into an MD school and which schools you would recommend I shoot for.
I will graduate with my MS in Biotechnology in an intensive 1 year program made of many pre-meds like...
Hey Everyone!
