2017

Good morning everyone! I've been an active reader on SDN forums for a very long time. My searches consist of "what are my chances, low gpa pharmacy schools, etc." But I thought I would create my own and see what you guys' opinions are. I graduated from UT with a degree in Economics and minored...

Hello, I have realized that Biochem is crucial to the new MCAT, and it consists of 30% of the questions in it, maybe even more. I cannot take the biochem class at my school, and I am taking the MCAT in april. SO i am stressing out right now. Could you please point me in the right direction...

Here's the idea: let's try something slightly different this year. Instead of only a list of usernames and acceptances, it occurred to me that a few years ago, I would have loved to see people say what they thought were their reasons they couldn't get accepted and/or shouldn't try. What did you...

I am planning on taking the MCAT in January of 2017.. however I just realized that the schedule out is for 2016. Is it safe to assume that there is going to be an MCAT in January? I am pretty much planning my life around that date. Has their always been one in January in the past?

Hey guys, so I just got back my MCAT scores and I must have really messed up. I was thinking of retaking them September 10th, but would that be too late to apply for this cycle? If not, should I apply now with a date pending, or wait until I get my scores back? In efforts not to retake them/...

So this is my situation. I am a pretty bad test taker and it affected my first year of college the most. I am very interested in dental school but the reality is that my GPA is not amazing and this is really making me wonder if I should bother spending $3000 dollars just applying. I am just at...

Hello all. I am currently a 4th year in New York and I'm in the process of filling out residency applications. Up until a few weeks ago, I was not sure about which specialty to choose. I am still torn between a few, but because I've always been interested in physics, I found radiology may be a...

Hi guys, there are threads of other schools for 2017, but No thread for UCSF IDP 2017 yet. Let's share our updates and experience for UCSF here. Good luck everyone.

I'm applying to both MD and DO schools and I job shadowed a dentist for about ~20 hours. I wasn't sure if I should include this experience or if including it would raise some questions?

So I have already graduated with all of my dental pre-reqs but I recieved a C- in Gen-chem 106 and Biochem 481. I am looking to retake these two courses but am unsure whether to seek a Community College or a University. Any help/guidance?

Hello everyone, This is my second year applying for dental school. Is it OK to use my last year's recommendation letters or they're considered as old letters and not accepted? If anyone can help me, I really be appreciative. Thank you.

Hey everyone! Was anyone here interviewed for the 2016 class given admission into the 2017 class? I'm checking to see if you've received any correspondence from USyd and were you given certain deadlines to meet? Also, anyone know of bursaries/scholarships available to Canadian students hoping to...

I'm sure this question has been asked in some variation, although I'm looking for specifics. I'm for all intents and purposes a junior and came to my college specifically to do a biomedical science program as all of the classes are pretty literally the list of pre-reqs for med school, which I...

Hello! My undergrad GPAs are on the lower side (cum 3.5 sci 3.45)....but I have been told that my 4.0 in post-bacc classes and 4.0 graduate GPA, as well as a very strong upward trend in my undergrad GPA (Almost all A's aside from freshman year) should not keep me from applying. I am working on...
