Hello. I have a few questions I need help with. I graduated with a Biomedical Science degree. I have a 3.456cGPA and 3.4 sGPA. I know my GPA is on the low end. I went to my pre med advisor and I believe I didn’t get much help. I was in the process of applying to one year program master degree...

So here's my story: Went to a 4-year school for 4 years (2011-2015), but didn't get a degree. I wanted to study music, but my family wouldn't support that endeavor and told me to reconsider. So I picked engineering, but I found out that I didn't like that, after 2 years. Next, I changed my...

I struggle in science classes and my GPA is terrible (I mean less than a 2.0). I’m in my second year of college and am not sure if I’m really cut out to be a doctor.

Here it goes, so I am a college freshman now and I am not doing so well, as the title suggests. I have tried absolutely every study method (probably not, but I still have been trying different ways of studying all the time). But so basically, the problem is that I really, truly do understand the...

Hi! I will be attending UT Austin next year as a public health major and I wanted to know what the premed experience was like at UT Austin and how hard it was to maintain a good GPA as a public health major.

Up until the 1st quarter of my junior year I was studying chemical engineering. I realized as soon as began taking my first engineering course that I did not want to continue with ChemE. I always considered the possibility of going to med school, but it wasn't until I shadowed a doctor during...
