I am thinking of taking an art class and 2 more classes to boost my gpa one last time. But I don’t want it to hinder my chances of getting a medical school interview. I’m not sure if medical schools require that they receive all my transcripts before they invite me for an interview?

Hi, I am applying for the application cycle next year and had a question regarding institutional action. I graduated from college 2 years ago and also finished a Master's grad school program (510, 3.78 cGPA/3.63 sGPA). During college my sophomore year, I was reported for academic dishonesty in...

I have a degree in medical laboratory science and when planning my application for the next cycle I was unsure how my courses would be classified. All my courses were all technically taken from the “Allied Health” school of the university and their course number indicates that. However, many of...

Hi! I have a few questions about the preview exam: 1. Are any third-party preview practice exams? 2. Is the 2021-2022 practice exam pdf the same as the one available on the preview portal? 3. Does anyone have any recommendations on the best ways to prepare? Thanks!

So, I have read many conflicting things regarding this, online. I am scheduled to take the MCAT in 6 days, but my recent FL score (combined with anxiety) tell me to void/no show. I'm mostly concerned that med schools will look at this attempt unfavorably (since they can access AAMC portal and...

Hey guys Just completed secondaries 10 days ago. Been blessed to already receive my first II from a SUNY :) (Am I allowed to say the name of the school or does that go against some type of privacy policy?) Anywho, I can't believe that the earliest date available already is December 1... Jw in...

the creme de la creme cream of the crop not just top 20, but that specific list of schools that has that "wow" factor everywhere. The schools where the absolute best applicants apply and matriculate to without giving their other acceptances much thought (besides like money and some other...

3.68 sGPA, 503 & 522 MCAT scores Long story less long; i got too drunk at my first homecoming experience in 2017. I took the basic online alcohol ed class. I forgot to include this to my AMCAS and secondaries so I sent updates to secondaries/emailed admissions that don't have that option. Will...

1.Yall think MCAT scores are lower or higher? 2.More/Less ppl applying? 3."Easier" or harder to get accepted this cycle? 4.Schools will prefer their in-state kids to minimize travel bc of COVID? BQ- Are most schools still doing rolling admissions bc it's kinda effed up for kids who had...

The AMCAS application portal literally says after you submit you can only mark letters as "no longer being sent"...how do I do that? I'm looking at AAMC's directions and the option to mark them as such isn't even on there?? Can someone help me? Am I just blind?

Hello all, Question for you - I recently received my first acceptance (yay!) however I have come across some seemingly conflicting information in the 2020 AMCAS guide regarding preliminary background checks. I'm wondering if you all know if the preliminary report (which I participated in this...

So here is my current situation. I currently got a 499 on my MCAT (RIP) but I plan on retaking in August and I expect to do significantly better. My plan right now is to apply in June. My question is whether or not medical schools will see me signed up in August to take it again and whether...

So my partner and I need help with which school to put by the April 30 Deadline, but here's the dilemma: SO #1 and SO #2 both interviewed at School A and School B SO #1 was WL'd at Schools A and B (will commit to School C in the meantime and probably won't hear from WL until after the deadline)...

Hello! This is more of a question specific to the AAMC, so I thought this would be a good place to ask about this since the AAMC itself was pretty vague. I'm interested in taking two Nutrition courses from the UCSD Extension program. I have an interest in some aspects of nutrition and I've...

Hello! I have a perplexing question: In looking at classes I could take, there is an Anatomy course, Physiology course and a combined Anatomy & Physiology class. These are all Bio courses, but they're all considered different courses with different classification numbers. How would the AAMC...

I've seen loads of threads about different study plans, but very few suggestions of what to do before diving into books and videos. I want to share what I did, not because everyone should do it, but because it worked for me and it includes some of the wonderful advice I got along the way...

How does the AAMC calculate gpa if I retake a class. I couldnt find a lot of info online. I wanted to retake gen chem (I got a B-) but I want to graduate and retake it in another college. My college has horrible chemistry teachers and people fail or do really poorly. Does it make a difference if...

Hey guys, So I was just accused of plagiarizing a summary of a research article. This research article had a lot of scientific terms that could not be changed and I did paraphrase a lot of the aims and discussion to summarize. Apparently I misunderstood the assignment and we were supposed to go...

I made a major mistake on my AMCAS. For my most recent employment, I meant to write 1600 hours but instead wrote 6600 hours. I did not realize the mistake until I was going through my primary while working on secondaries. Obviously, this isn't something that will be missed by many medical...
