    RFUMS vs CCOM

    I know there have been other threads, but none within the past year or so. I have acceptances to both schools and I'm really having a hard time deciding. I initially got 4 DO offers and was ready to assume that as my future, but then I got one MD offer, that I didn't really consider getting at...

    How good are my chances? 3.56 pre-req GPA and 3.75 overall

    I just got off the phone with my mom and she said she knows a lot of people who have kids who just aren't getting into grad school despite their good grades. I have a 3.75 GPA, with a 3.56 pre-req GPA (got a B in chemistry both semesters, hope that won't affect me too much). I am only a...

    Off the waitlist: Vet med 2016

    Can't find one for this year, and I'd like to see how it works out for everyone! I got waitlisted by Mizzou and Illinois, haven't heard anything from either (though U of I just sent out their initial acceptance/waitlist letters, so that's not surprising). How's the waitlist purgatory going for...

    Accepted - Now how should I disclose a criminal conviction?

    Hi all, Long story short, I am accepted to a school that did not ask about any prior convictions in their secondary app. I also did not disclose the conviction on my AMCAS because it didn't occur until after I had submitted the app. The incident occurred in early Winter 2014 and was a DUI with...

    General Admissions & OTCAS Upset with how interview went

    Hey guys. I recently went on my last interveiw for OT school and I'm pretty upset with how it went.

    Effect of Age on App

    I am wondering if my age would help/hurt/have no impact on my med school apps? I am finishing up pre med stuff now and will finish undergrad at 20 and take 1-2 years off to work/volunteer/shadow. That being said this still puts me *hopefully* matriculating at 21-22. Would med schools view this...

    Should I disclose an infraction if it is never asked for?

    I have an infraction which is about a year and a half old which is classified as a civil ordinance violation (not a felony or misdemeanor). I will be applying to med schools next year. The AMCAS only asked about misdemeanors and felonies and most of the secondaries that I have started looking...

    Chances of getting into Harvard?

    I've recently considered applying to Harvard out of pure curiosity. At first I thought that there's no way that I could get in, but I did some research and have seen that people have gotten into Harvard with "low" GPA's and "low" test scores. I have a 3.5 unweighted GPA and scored a 24 on my ACT...

    When visiting/interviewing at medical schools, what do most people do for transportation? I don't have a car. But even if I flew somewhere, I am not 25 so wouldn't be able to rent a car there. Am I basically limited to regions with really good public transit? Or is there another approach? What...

    After getting an interview, does only interview performance matter or do grades too for acceptance?

    Once you get offered an interview for pharmacy school, from that point on in the acceptance process is only your interview performance what matters, or do they still consider the rest of your application too, ie gpa and pcat scores? For me its SUNY Buffalo to be specific
