If one parent and two of your sisters had severe addiction problems (two of the three are still in that black hole all these years later, around 12 years to be exact) and the other parent was mentally ill but could still work, all while you were growing up, does that count as disadvantaged? It...

Hello friends, Just a few questions about how interning in a biotech company would be seen in terms of research. I worked two summers (plus this next summer) at a blood diagnostics company working on some clinical trial stuff as well as an independent research project for which a publication...

In general what are the reasons for choosing to apply to MD schools vs DO schools. Since they can do the same residencies and jobs it seems like the only real reasons to choose MD over DO is because of the prestige factor. Can anyone else give their insight on this?

Gentleman, After consideration I think the HPSP route is my best option, due to the length of my current ADSO. If I was to wait out my SLRP ADSO I would be waiting another 3 years. I have heard that conditional releases with the intent of joining the HPSP program, upon acceptance to medical...

Calling all Nontraditional Students!! If you have a moment, and you are willing, please answer the following questions: At what age did you matriculate? What was your background going in? What motivated you to make a switch into medicine? Did you go for an MD or Mid–Level credential (such as...
