    Taking physics over the summer at Harvard

    Hello, I am planning to take physics over the summer at Harvard. Although I would like to take it at cheaper public schools, I live in NYC and CUNYs don't offer physics I and II together. I am also considering taking it at NYU as well. I saw that Harvard only has a single 7 week session so I...

    Independent Study Physics

    hey people, I just took physics this semester and I did not do well to say the least. I think I will finish the semester with a C- if I'm lucky so needless to say I am taking the course over again. I really want to take it in the summer but the school I was planning on taking it is only offering...

    What can I do over the summer to improve my application?

    Hey everyone, non-traditional post-bac here. I'm wondering at this point if I'm too late in applying for summer programs to either volunteer at a hospital or find a research opportunity, because all seem to have had their application deadlines set. What are some opportunities that I can find to...

    Hello SDN! I'm trying to decide what will be the best use of my summer. I am a rising college senior and planning on taking one gap year before entering medical school. Because my gpa is not where I would like it to be, I'm really concerned about becoming the most competitive applicant I...

    Summer b4 vet school - Zoo interest

    Hi all. I'm starting vet school in the Fall and am trying to figure out what to do this summer. It's a short summer and I will likely only have about 1.5 months free after my college graduation.

    Summer Classes -- Two semesters of chem or one chem/one physics

    I've heard from some people that especially for chemistry, I should take as much as possible at my home institution. I have two classes worth of tuition credit for this summer and was thinking of taking a semester of chemistry (gen chem 1) and a semester of physics (physics 2), or two semesters...

    As a first year, how best do you spend the summer?

    So, I'm a first year and now that we're halfway through with the spring semester, I've been hearing and seeing my classmates talk about how they've got internships, the Merial scholarship for summer research, the Banfield internship, others just going back home to work with their vet clinic, or...

    How should I manage my busy summer?

    With my degree plan, I'm required to complete all of my lower-level science courses before I begin the Fall 2016 semester. Because of this, I'm required to take physics 2 over the summer in order to meet the deadline. Also, I need to start studying for the DAT, and I've concluded that I will use...

    Columbia/Hofstra/Rutgers MedPrep Summer

    This is NOT the post bac program I see everyone talking about; this is an undergrad prep program for med school. It is 3 years long, every summer. It's only open to NY/NJ residents. I'm wondering, did anyone on here apply to it? I've seen no mention of this program anywhere on SDN

    Does prestige of the institution hosting my summer research internship affect med school admissions?

    I applied for 13 research internships and only have gotten into two programs so far :(. Based on the recent stream of rejection emails flooding my inbox, I don't think that I will have any more acceptances. The programs I was accepted into are at less prestigious/well-known/lower-ranked/etc...

    Pre M1 summer program

    The school I am likely to attend is offering a 3-4 week summer program for students to get early exposure to class material before the semester starts. It sounds like the program is intesnive and tries to mimic class as much as possible while covering historically difficult M1 topics to give...

    Summer Before Med School Jobs

    So as I enter my last semester of undergrad I've been thinking a lot about this coming summer. It's often touted as our "last summer," because summer following M1 is usually used for research opportunities and then there are no full summer breaks thereafter, therefore I really want to make it...

    Canadian Dental Students attending US Dental School

    US Dental Students can share their opinions too! 1) I understand that you are on a student visa, and not a work visa. Thus, you probably are not able to work during the summer months. What are some of the things that you do during your "break"? 2) How was the adjustment in terms of...
