I've been fortunate enough to be accepted to handful of MD schools, however, none have given me any type of scholarships. Should I be applying for outside scholarships? Is it worth it? do people actually get scholarships from sites like fastweb and others? Does anyone have advice on getting...

Hi all, Hope someone can advise on this specific situation. All of my LORs have letterheads, besides one that my former post-bacc director is writing for me. Since they left the school after my completion of the program, they’re saying that they’d be happy to write it as my former...

Hello all. I am currently in a dilemma as I am finding it very difficult to go back to school to complete my pre-requisites to apply to medical school while working full time nights as a nurse.

I'm an undergrad student currently taking my prerequisites at a university. I know that med schools require that you send all your post secondary transcripts, but my question is about high school transcripts and/or diploma.

Hey everyone, so if I have both volunteering and shadowing experiences, do I necessarily have to work, for example, as a medical assistant? I understand that having a job in medicine is very helpful in exposing yourself more to the medicine field, but I was wondering if having volunteering and...

Hello, I am currently in my 3rd year of UG. I am a pre-med hopeful but definitely unsure but still very much wanna be a doctor. I was a great student in high school in the top 5% of my class and a great SAT score. However, I came into college as an engineering major and took core...

So I'm in a bit of a predicament. I originally took Organic Chemistry I at my school. At my school lecture (3) and lab (1) are combined to be one grade and I received a C- and most DO schools need a "C" or higher for the prereqs. I'm retaking the class this summer and avoiding taking it in Fall...
