So recently quite a few students were academically dismissed from a Big 3 Caribbean school due to grades (they set the passing grade differently each semester using some algorithm and the Hofstede theory supposedly, no one really knows how they determine it). So curious to know if time is taken...

Hello NOVA MD secondary is asking Please explain any gaps or inconsistencies in either academic or standardized test performances throughout your undergraduate, graduate, or post-graduate career. I have a 505 MCAT is it worth speaking about in this? I'm not sure if I want to draw attention...

Hi SDN, I totally messed up and was so excited to enter my new grades for the academic update that I forgot to post my planned courses for spring.. and I already hit submit. Would this be detrimental to my application? Should I send each school the courses I will be taking in spring? Thanks in...

Hello all, I'm a US M4 applying to internal medicine, with an end goal of academic hem/onc. I have a pretty good application, so I've applied to the top 15 programs + 13 mid-tier programs. The only thing missing from my app is Step 2 CK, which I'm scheduled to take in 10 days. Unfortunately...

I have my first phone interview for a psychologist position at an academic medical center next week. The position is mostly clinical with some opportunities for research funding. Any thoughts about what I should expect, how to prepare? Any topics I should definitely (or definitely not) bring up...

Greetings all, For those who read, I'll attempt to make this as concise as possible. Brief rewind: I was a terrible student in high school. I had the worst habits imaginable. My inherent laziness and insistence on doing what I wanted when I wanted never served me academically. Despite being...
